Course Outline

Shiatsu is a touch-based therapy that applies both pressure and stretches through clothing to the surface of the body. Shiatsu is a therapeutic practice that can support individuals in moving towards greater health and well-being. This bespoke course has been developed by Andy as a practical and theoretical introduction to understanding the philosophy of Shiatsu.

Throughout the 3 day workshop you will explore the relationship of shiatsu principles to other forms of bodywork. Correct application of the principles of Shiatsu in a therapeutic environment, explore the use of Shiatsu and QiGong as a system for preventing illness and improving the health of both practitioner and receiver.

You will develop a knowledge of palpation and body handling skills and sensitivity of touch through the introduction of the use of Shiatsu palpation techniques in prone, supine, side and sitting positions. This course aims to equip you, the attendee with the confidence to integrate Shiatsu techniques into your practice via your chosen treatment modality.
