Shiatsu for Structural Dysfunction
This is a full body general treatment designed to detoxify and relax the major muscle groups of the body. This practical application is done by applying pressure to specific acupoints in a sequential order on the belly, medial and lateral borders of the primary muscles. This application can be as long as 90 minutes and as short as 50 minutes. The abdomen is excluded in this treatment so there is no chance of causing or exacerbating a pathological condition that would be contraindicated for this treatment. Depending on the speed and the intensity of this full body treatment, the outcome can be sedative or stimulating. After completing this full body treatment the client experiences a general full body euphoria and complete relaxation. This class is 12 hours of massage continuing education hours. Great massage school training in our massage school.
