Shiatsu
Finger Pressure
noun, verbal noun
When someone applies finger pressure, they're probably practicing shiatsu.
Shiatsu is an alternative therapy from Japan, which involves applying pressure with the fingertips to specific spots on the body. This word can also refer to any kind of finger pressure, logically enough!
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
