Lomi Lomi. The name suggests massage in the Hawaiian language. This was taken from the Polynesians and sometimes is referred to as loving hands.
Shiatsu. It came from the Japanese and known also as acupressure as it involves the movement of the fingers during the massage. The techniques include tapping, squeezing, and rubbing. And it does not include any needles.
