What Will You Learn?

Heal the body of common conditions, imbalances, and ailments. Heal the mind of stress and anxiety. Along with Chinese acupuncture and modern Western medical knowledge, Shiatsu massage integrates several styles of therapy and technique to awaken the flow of Ki and aid recovery.

This course will lead you through the theory and application of Shiatsu massage and provide knowledge of Ki, meridians and acupoints.

You’ll begin by getting to know Shiatsu massage, from the treatment process and massage application to its origins and history. You’ll learn about Ki, meridians, and the role of Yin and Yang in Shiatsu massage.

You’ll learn the basic principles of Shiatsu, the effects of using various techniques, how to use different body parts for massage and become familiar with the range of motion of various joints. You’ll learn how to conduct a Shiatsu session, covering various areas of the body, and how to provide a chair massage.

The course explores the use of meridian and local diagnosis and provides guidance on meridian stretching. You’ll also learn about the acupoints, the 14 different meridians, and how to treat diseases using acupoints.

The course concludes with an examination of the scientific evidence that supports the effectiveness of Shiatsu for treating various conditions.

Excellent credited courses for everyone!

Desc: I have done over 15 courses with CoE already and I can only recommend them. Friendly customer support, great topics, very alternative and unique courses you'll hardly find anywhere else. Also a huge selection of different interests, there is something for everyone. Great discount codes running at all times! What started as a way to cope with COVID has become a true passion for me. Thank you CoE!
