Shiatsu Anma Therapy

Massage CE Program - 22 CE Hour(s)

In this home study course, you will learn the art and practice of a specific style of clinical Shiatsu called Shiatsu Anma. Based on both the theory of acupressure energetics originating from Chinese medicine and massage techniques of Japanese origin, Shiatsu Anma Therapy addresses illnesses and painful conditions in the body stemming from blockages in the flow of energy, or chi, within the acupuncture meridian (channel) system.

You will learn how to assess the body's energy channel system with regard to deficiency and excessive states and apply appropriate techniques that restore the balance of chi within the body. As the flow of chi is re-established in the channel system, pain is relieved and the healing process of the body begins.

The manual that accompanies the DVD presentation in this instructional program contains pertinent information with regard to the theory, application, and specific treatment techniques and sequences for several painful conditions. A review of Yin/Yang theory and Meridians is included both in the video and the manual to help familiarize you with the fundamentals of this practice. A laminated Acupuncture Chart that depicts the meridians as well as specific points on the channels is included as a useful reference when working with the various channels and points. An additional text accompanies this program as supplemental material for your reference in learning and practicing the art of Shiatsu. Use this reference to broaden and deepen your practice of Shiatsu Anma Therapy.

Student Reviews

This is the best home study course I have done, and the first from this company. It has encouraged me to do more home study. I was familiar with the meridian system, and use it in some energy work, but this was more advanced and in depth and I feel I needed the enhanced study. I think my clients will enjoy the shiatsu experience. I am very pleased overall with this class.

A wealth of information to absorb.

- N. Turner, LMT, NCTMB

I really enjoyed this course. It will certainly compliment my practice. I took some basic shiatsu in massage school 12 years ago and a lot of the things came back. Then, additionally, I learned some great techniques for working the points and the sequences. The video was clear, and Instructor Hickey did a great job in a concise and clear way. The video, the charts, the reference book and the course book were all great. I used all of them and will keep the chart handy until it becomes second nature. I treated a mild stomach upset on myself during the course and it worked like a charm! Thanks - I really enjoyed this course.

- S. Buonaguro, LMT, NCTMB, ABMP

Wow, this course was amazing! Very complex, though, and I'm sure it will take much review of the course materials and practice with family and friends before I'd feel comfortable performing shiatsu sessions with clients. Most valuable, fascinating and inspirational - I can't wait to incorporate this into my practice. Thank you!

- C. Monahan, LMT

This is a great course for anyone interested in shiatsu or Chinese philosophy. The demonstrations were wonderful and done so that this therapy can very easily be incorporated into a massage treatment.

- M. Green, LMT

There are no trick questions. All the answers are clearly found in the text. Both the books and the DVD are excellent sources and will refer to them as I continue to learn and practice each technique. I know this course is just the beginning, and that it will take many more hours of continuous practice to get the feel of deficient and excessive Qi in the meridians. I do believe this course is worth every bit I paid and would recommend it to others.

- M. Howard, NCTMB, ABMP

I love this course and I really learned a lot about Shiatsu. Now I can incorporate this technique when doing massage. This is really very helpful and the video is excellent.

- J. H. Bansil, CMT

I have studied Chinese medicine in respect to bodywork for a few years now. This course exceeded my expectations of what a home study course could provide. Thank you!
