Come to Our Next Free Open House July 2nd, 2009


Our School

    Since 1976, the Acupressure Institute has offered comprehensive acupressure trainings in traditional Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT) such as Thai Massage and Shiatsu massage to students from around the world. In comparing other Acupressure schools, our trainings provide high-quality education to support each student's professional and personal goals, in a setting that encourages communication, respect, confidentiality and safety for everyone. Students are encouraged to visit our school facilities and meet with a counselor to tailor our acupressure training programs, based on your needs and interests.

    We offer training in asian bodywork and healing styles including Reiki, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Qigong Massage and Acu-Yoga with a strong basis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). You can begin your journey in healing with one of our introductory classes or a full program.

What is Acupressure?
    Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago, using the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force energy to aid healing. Acupressure uses gentle but firm pressure with the same points as acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine, integrating bodywork therapies, therapeutic touch, somatic work, healing imagery, energy psychology, and massage therapy techniques.
