Shiatsu Massage Schools

Shiatsu is an ancient Eastern healing method which has been incorporated as a specialty within the Western massage therapy industry. Shiatsu is used to improve the flow of energy through the meridians of the body, which in turn improves organ function, relieves muscle and joint pain, increases mobility, enhances immune system function and improves overall health and wellness. Shiatsu practitioners focus on pressure points, muscle manipulation and stretching to help the body return to balance and health. Shiatsu schools usually also teach effective business practices to assist Shiatsu practitioners to go into private practice, if they so choose.

Online colleges offering programs for Shiatsu

Shiatsu practitioners must adhere to the same regulations and licensing requirements set forth for massage therapy practitioners in the state or jurisdiction in which they intend to work. Most states have statewide legislation requiring at least 500 hours of massage training at an accredited school, while some states require more hours and some have no statewide requirements. Practitioners in states without statewide regulations will need to meet requirements set forth by local regulatory agencies in the city or county in which they work.

Shiatsu is one of the most popular and in demand massage modalities. If you would like to learn more about this exciting career choice, or are ready to begin your training to become a Shiatsu practitioner, look through the comprehensive list of schools below to find the Shiatsu program that best suits your needs.
