To become a fully qualified Shiatsu therapist in Japan, you’ll need to be able to speak enough Japanese to be able to understand your anatomy, physiology and pathology lessons and to discuss Shiatsu theory – and after that, it takes another three years and the passing of official examinations to qualify.
However, if a certificate isn’t your aim but an authentic experience is, then you can still go to Japan and get the chi flowing with a two-month Shiatsu massage course at the Japan Shiatsu College specially designed for non-Japanese speakers who don’t have the required technical background. You’ll learn the traditional method based on the system developed by Tokujiro Namikoshi in 1912, exploring how diagnosis and treatment through touch can be used for lymphatic, muscular, skeletal and nervous problems and to alleviate stress.
