Originally,
in Japan, there
were many workshop series for professional national licensed
Shiatsu therapists to keep and improve their skill. In Canada, there
are courses for registered chiropractors and massage therapists. They
need to attend these workshops to keep their qualified licenses. This
workshop/course is called “Continuing Professional Education".
Kiyoshi
Ikenaga-sensei started the first canadian Shiatsu Workshop series for
professional shiatsu therapists in 2007. In 2009, this workshop series
made a new start as 'continuing professional education' for shiatsu
therapists in JSC (under the umbrella of ISI). This is one of
several benefits for ISI members to improve their work environment.
From
its inception until the present, a special feature of this workshop
series has been the attendance of Kiyoshi Ikenaga-sensei. Practicing
alongside a Shiatsu therapist with his extensive experience is an
invaluable experience. The workshop series is a great opportunity to
learn from and work with other Shiatsu Therapists and to improve your
skill level.
 The Latest Report
The
continuing Professional Education workshop was held at Yaletown clinic
on April 16th. The attendees were Kiyoshi, Aya, Kana, Keita, Yusuke,
Kaz, Akiko, Taro, Mari, Sae, Teruyo, Aimi, and Masao.
Contents of
the workshop was "Introduction of my way of Shiatsu treatment from the
point of the view of Anatomy." First of all, I explained how to use
body weight efficiently and talked about my knowledge of skin.
Secondly, I demonstrated how to palpate each muscle one by one, and
especially how to detect muscles. Then we all practised on each other.
It was such a great opportunity that we all shared our knowledge and
experience. Also, it was very practical to exchange feedback with good
knowledgeable collegues. |
