Course Overview
Shiatsu is a well known but often poorly understood therapy by some
massage therapists. Incorporating shiatsu techniques into massage
therapy is within the scope of practice for massage therapists and will
enhance their practice.
The distinguishing feature of the certificate program is the focus on
clinical treatment protocols for common conditions, based on a solid
theoretical and practical foundation. The curriculum is premised on
the state standard adopted from China, by western licensing bodies
for regulatory approval.
The certificate course consists of two levels, running from
September to June.
The 16 and 7 hour Introductory Courses are intended to present an
overview of shiatsu massage as it will be delivered in the full program
in it’s theoretical, practical and clinical components.
A key aspect of shiatsu is the management of energy (Qi), with-in the
patient, which is directed by the practitioner. Therefore success
relies on the practitioners abilities in personal energy management.
“Qi Gong”, a component of this program, is a practice of breathing
and stretching which builds energy and develops a keen awareness
of body mind and spirit.
When the practitioner recognizes positive balanced energy within
himself/herself, it is then possible to identify negative patterns and
harmonize them appropriately, using the techniques learned in this
course.
Because shiatsu requires no oils or lubricants, it can be administered
according to a variety of patient preferences including, through light
clothing, thin sheets, or directly to the skin, with or without oils.
