Training in Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a rewarding and satisfying profession.
There are also many good reasons why you may want to train in Shiatsu in addition to what you do already.
Self-Development
The process of learning Shiatsu is itself a profound experience, developing your own health and emotional balance. Many people learn Shiatsu as a part of their own self-development, to better their health and to learn how to deal with stress and to cope with times of transition in their lives.

Shiatsu in Sports Massage
Shiatsu is a very effective adjunct to sports training, praised by top atheletes. Fitness training is already growing fast in popularity and the forthcoming London Olympics will increase that trend, so Sports and Fitness Shiatsu looks like a good career choice.

Shiatsu in Midwifery
If you are a midwife, Shiatsu is fast growing as a tool in the midwife's kit and a great way to help mothers to calm and massage their baby. Midwives also learn how to teach Shiatsu to prospective fathers so that they can relieve many of the discomforts of pregnancy.

Shiatsu in Physical Therapy
If you are already a physical therapist, Shiatsu is recognised as a good way of improving the quality of your work. For instance, many physiotherapists and osteopaths have found that a short period of Shiatsu at the start of their treatment makes the manipulations more effective.

On-Site Shiatsu
On site Shiatsu is a form of work done in offices on a special chair, allowing treatments to take place within the normal working day. Many managers have found that Shiatsu improves the atmosphere and productivity in the workplace.
