Feedback:
Massage therapy involves applying pressure and movement to stretch and knead soft body tissues. Chiropractic theory proposes that subluxation (misalignment) of the spinal vertebrae alters nerve activities that regulate body functions in distant organs. Shiatsu is similar to acupressure and acupuncture. Yoga does not involve applying pressure to soft tissues.
