Chinese Medicine : Treatment Modalities

A 12-hour course

Zen Shiatsu grows out of the ancient intellectual traditions of Chinese Medicine, and the practice of acupuncture and herbalism.

In our 96-hour Chinese Medicine curriculum, we do an in-depth study of these traditions, to understand the place of Zen Shiatsu within the greater context of Chinese Medicine and learn to communicate fluently with other professionals in the field.

The study of Chinese Medicine is also very applicable to Zen Shiatsu practice. The instructor, Lok Kwan Cheng, is a Shiatsu practitioner and a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese herbology, and has devised a curriculum that best serves the needs of Shiatsu practice.

Chinese Medicine - Treatment Modalities, covers powerful accessory techniques which are included on the NCCAOM Asian Bodywork Therapy exam. These techniques can be incorporated into a shiatsu treatment or used independently as appropriate for a variety of indications.

Topics Include:

•  Gua Sha
•  Cupping
•  Moxibustion
•  Heat/Cold Applications
•  Magnets
•  Topical Herbal Applications

This class is open only to students enrolled in our complete Shiatsu Certification Program.
