Our History as the Social Enterprise from Japan
This special movie was created collaboratively by the Japanese NGO APCAS and JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) to promote employment opportunities for the visually impaired as acupressure (Shiatsu) therapists in March 2022. They implemented a two-year training project starting in March 2020, aimed at refining the comprehensive Shiatsu training system of “Thusare Talking Hands” and establishing a new professional occupational path for Shiatsu therapists in society.
What Our Clients Say
“The therapists here provide traditional shiatsu massages, similar to those provided in Japan. The experience is not only relaxing, but is a proper treatment of Oriental medicine. In Japan, many visually impaired people are acupressure therapists, as their sense of touch is much more sensitive than others. I strongly recommend people to try this out.”
Matsuo Keiko
“These gorgeous people are not only kind, sensitive and compassionate human beings… they are highly skilled and very professional shiatsu massage therapists. Talking hands and loving hearts, not only they helped my persistent hamstring injury heal.”
Anna Suvorova
“It was an experience. The treatment was professional, done very well and with great care. It’s also an inspiration to all of us that it’s possible for anyone to accept what life has offered and move forward to impact so many.”

FAQ
-
What is Shiatsu?
-
Shiatsu therapy, with a history spanning 2000 years in Japan, has evolved systematically and is widely chosen as a medical treatment. In our therapy, skilled therapists apply rhythmic pressure to the body’s meridians and points, tailoring the treatment based on the client’s symptoms and their preferred pressure intensity.
-
What is the benefit?
-
In Japan, Shiatsu is commonly used to enhance physical well-being, address chronic disorders, manage pain, prevent diseases, and support exercise capacity. Beyond its medical applications, Shiatsu is widely embraced for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing energy flow in Japan.
-
Is Shiatsu Painful? How is the clothes in treatment？
-
Shiatsu treatment occurs on an individual bed in a safe and comfortable environment. The therapist gives acupressure massage through a cotton cloth, eliminating the need for clients to undress. Prior to the treatment, the therapist inquires about the client’s symptoms and areas of pain to tailor a more suitable treatment plan based on Shiatsu theory.
