Description
In this course I Shane Spencer a registered Shiatsu & Massage therapist known locally as shiatsu Shane with over 12 years clinical experience, a YouTube following of over 180k subscribers takes you through 36 lessons that will teach you some hands-on practical skills in shiatsu. Now this course is aimed at the both the beginner in manual therapy and therapists alike as I believe even if you have been in practice a number of years there is always a few skills that can be learned to add to the toolbox. And for the complete beginner rest assured this course covers all the basics so once you have completed it you will be able to give a full body treatment. You will find a variety of techniques all of which I Incorporate daily into my own practice and can therefore testify they all have a profound effect on the body. You will first learn how to connect with your client's body and their energy field before moving onto skills associated with shiatsu such as palming and pressure point work, however we will not be going too in depth with the meridians or pressure points or theory instead this course is aimed at focusing on practical skills. We will also be covering stretching and joint mobilization to which I believe much of success in treating clients comes from the varied amount of stretches I include. I hope you find this course interesting and that it improves your skillset, any questions you can always reach out to me. Are there any course requirements or prerequisites?noneWho this course is for:Shiatsu Therapists, Massage Therapists, Osteopaths, Personal Trainers, Physiotherapists, Spa Therapists, Chiropractors and anyone else interested in shiatsu.
