The Journal of Shiatsu and Oriental Body Therapy was published in the 1990's to publish high quality articles and research in the field. It gained an international reputation for the depth and expertise of its articles and had a circulation of about 2000. It is no longer printed but the website still provides access to all the articles and many more. The JSOBT is being transformed into a library for quality writing about Shiatsu.

A free resource for Shiatsu Publications worldwide

We have now made the website a free resource which is a one stop link to shiatsu related articles, books and journals worldwide. You can read past issues of the JSOBT in full and articles from Shiatsu Journals around the world. We also aim to publish e-books, which can be bought and downloaded online.

The JSOBT is a non-profit making organisation

All articles are provided free of charge for reading on your computer

To try to meet the cost of maintaining the website, we ask you to contribute a donation if you want to print out the publications. They will be freely readable in any case but will not print unless you have given a donation previously.

Some of the publications may be books or magazines for sale. In this case the money you pay goes directly to the author or organisation who owns the title.

The JSOBT is independent

The JSOBT is independent of any school, organisation, teacher or type of Shiatsu. It only demands high quality writing and ideas. Our aim is to produce a resource for the entire International Shiatsu Community which can also be respected by professionals in other fields

The JSOBT will never use any data to mail advertisements for courses, schools or organisations without the receivers prior, explicit permission.
