Professional Shiatsu Training
We are
proud to provide a Professional
Traditional Shiatsu curriculum.
Our focus is on training students to be proficient in a variety of
Shiatsu styles. Shiatsu is a fully recognized system of health care in
Japan, where its practitioners undergo extensive training and
licensing. Shiatsu literally means “finger pressure”
and refers to a body therapy style which utilizes finger pressure as
well as other techniques to help balance the flow of Ki (Qi) throughout
the body. The basic tenant of Eastern Medicine is that where there is
blockage in the body, there is a disruption of Ki (vital processes)
allowing dysfunction and disease ensues. By balancing the Ki ,
Shiatsu Practitioners are able to correct the flow of Ki which allows a
client’s body to return to its normal self-regulating homeostatic
state.
Foundation Level Training will
cover mat techniques as represented by Shizuto Masunaga’s Zen
Shiatsu and Suzuki Yamamoto’s Barefoot Shiatsu as well as the
stretching and energy work of Macrobiotic Shiatsu and its influences
(George Ohsawa (Macrobiotics), Morihei Ueshiba (Aikido), and Masahiro
Oki (Yoga). Coursework will include an introduction to the Eastern
approach to body systems through Traditional Chinese Medical Theory
(TCM). Students will understand the concepts of Yin & Yang
Theory, Five Element Theory and learn pathways and major point location
of the 12 basic and 2 additional meridians. A basic whole-body routine,
including abdominal Ampuku, utilizing stretching, body mobilizations,
point pressing and manipulation as well as breath and energy work will
be developed.
Mid-Level Training will
consist of learning the pressure point and
meridian therapy styles of Tokujiro Namikoshi and an exploration
of Five Element Shiatsu. Table techniques will be
introduced and essential touch and biomechanics will be taught.
Coursework will continue with Five-Element Concepts and extend them to
diagnostic indicators and procedures for balancing the body.
Students will also learn about the 8 Extraordinary Meridians and their
regulatory function. Specific Point effects will be examined and
experiences through clinic and home practice. Traditional remedy
routines for addressing specific client concerns will be
developed. Several other therapy specific bodyworking styles such
as Tui Na and Trigger Point Therapy will be introduced as complimentary
practices.
Third Level Training gives
the practitioner an advanced perspective on Shiatsu and a chance to
integrate both Eastern and Western modalities to provide a
flexible client experience. The student will learn how to
evaluate a client’s energy level and balance and will practice
advanced self-care techniques for developing their own strength and
inner energy. Additional techniques borrowed from Jin Shin
Jyutsu, Nuad Boran (Thai) and Amma will be utilized as well as energy
techniques. Healthy nutrition from the Five Element and
Macrobiotic perspectives will be introduced. Training will be primarily
hands-on at this level and students will be expected to complete a
certain number of shiatsu sessions per week.
Examinations will certify the
student to be an entry-level Shiatsu Practitioner
(Note: this coursework does not provide
the scope necessary to give students the credentials for a Massage
Therapist license in the State of Maine and they are not allowed to use
that title in their practice. Additional training is
required)
