This comprehensive course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in the principles and techniques of Shiatsu massage, enabling you to confidently practice and offer this ancient Japanese healing art to others.

Shiatsu, meaning "finger pressure" in Japanese, is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating form of massage therapy that incorporates traditional Eastern medicine principles. Through the application of precise finger, palm, and elbow pressure on specific points of the body, Shiatsu stimulates the body's energy flow, relieves tension, and promotes holistic healing.

Throughout this course, you will embark on a transformative journey, delving into the history, philosophy, and fundamental concepts of Shiatsu massage. You will gain a deep understanding of the body's meridian pathways and acupressure points, learning how to locate and apply pressure to these points effectively.

Starting with the essentials, you will learn proper body mechanics, positioning, and breathing techniques to optimize the delivery of Shiatsu massage. You will then progress to mastering a wide range of foundational techniques, including kneading, pressing, rocking, and stretching, tailored to each body area.

Building upon these foundational skills, you will explore the principles of yin and yang, the five elements, and the significance of balancing the body's energy to promote overall well-being. You will discover how to tailor your Shiatsu sessions to address specific imbalances and promote harmony within the body and mind.

To enhance your learning experience, this course features comprehensive demonstrations of Shiatsu massage techniques on various parts of the body, including the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet. You will also gain valuable insights into the effective use of oils, hot stones, and other complementary tools to augment the therapeutic benefits of Shiatsu massage.

Upon completing this course, you will possess the knowledge and practical skills to confidently practice Shiatsu massage professionally or to offer therapeutic sessions to friends and family. You will have the ability to relieve tension, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and restore balance to the body's energy system through the power of touch.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
