The Academy of On-site Massage (part of the Academy of Complementary Therapies) is happy to announce our 2008 Reiki course dates.
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.
Natural Healing
Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.
Why Train With Us?
Established in 1988, the Academy has trained over 1,800 therapists in On Site Massage (Seated Acupressure) all over the UK and beyond.
We believe that small class sizes are absolutely critical. There are never more than eight students for each fully qualified teacher on our Seated Acupressure and Reiki courses and never more than ten on our Indian Head Massage courses.
Every student is given the personal contact details of their tutor and is encouraged to get in touch whenever they need to. After the course ends our support doesn’t. Post graduate training opportunities, membership of the On Site Massage Association and work opportunities with the Academy’s Corporate Services arm all support you in your massage practise and the Academy’s teaching team are never more than a phone call away.
Massage, if not carried out properly, can be detrimental to the health of the practitioner.
In 2003 we conducted a major review of the techniques of On Site Massage. This resulted in a major over haul of the way some were carried out. All of the techniques we now teach have been checked to ensure they produce minimum strain to the practitioner. A high proportion of those techniques are "zero strain" by utilising the practitioner’s elbows and forearms.
As a result we are able to differentiate ourselves from other trainers still using the original methods for carrying out massage which cause thumb and wrist strain to the practitioner.
We continue to work to develop and improve all the courses we run.
Our one day course, "Selling On Site Massage to the Corporate Sector", provides advice on how to sell the concept and practise of massage to businesses yourself.
Our aim is to develop a relationship with our students not just during their training but after it as well.
Once qualified, students have the opportunity to join the On-Site Massage Association which brings a range of benefits including a quarterly newsletter, access to an on line message board, discounts on further training and discounts on all equipment at the Massage Table Store (www.massagetablestore.com)
