Synopsis of this course
Acupressure is an ancient treatment technique with its origins in the Orient that has been given a 21st Century makeover, tailoring the treatment for today’s fast-paced, stress-driven work-place environment.
The treatment is received through clothes on a specially designed massage chair. The chairs are unbelievably comfortable, the treatment is fast, dynamic and it gets results. Almost without exception, clients report feeling totally relaxed yet wide awake, alert and ready to get back to work.
No more aching backs for the therapist either, as the stance used throughout the sequence protects and strengthens the back and legs, and opens the energy channels.
What does this training involve
The Acupressure Practitioner Training Course is available to qualified therapists only, with a qualification in Anatomy and Physiology and Massage such as ITEC or VTCT.
Our book, Seated Acupressure Therapy is supplied as part of our course material.
