This course will offer the most fundamental building blocks needed to integrate Chinese Medicine into Massage Therapy. Students will learn Meridian pathways, functions, and 10+ potent points along each Meridian. Students will discover signs of imbalance and an Acupressure sequence for restoring balance to each Meridian. Included in the course materials are clear point illustrations, anatomical instructions for locating Acupoints, and how to use these points to restore physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. Assessment techniques, including Yu point location and pulse reading, are practiced here. A significant amount of time is spent on self-care practices, such as Meridian tracing, Chinese self-massage along the Meridian pathways, Meridian stretching, and self-Acupressure to restore balance to the Meridians. Our in-depth exploration of Meridian theory includes a brief introduction to Five Elements theory in preparation for upcoming courses in the Chinese Five Elements. Chinese Meridian Acupressure is a pre-requisite for Meridian Massage Therapy.
