The core practitioner training runs over a two year period and is organised so that you can complete our in depth course alongside your jobs and busy lives. Once you have qualified as an Amatsu therapy practitioner you will then be offered the opportunity to extend your knowledge and skills base with the two additional levels of study - Shinden Jutsu and Kenku Jutsu
There
are also many continuous professional development (CPD) courses, run annually, on
a wide variety of Amatsu or related topics.
the practitioner training course:
The practitioner training is broken down into three main areas:
Training in these areas will give you the skills, the knowledge and the confidence required to become a confident and competent practitioner.
You will partake in a minimum of 32 days class study and approximately 1,000 hours of directed home study. In addition you will cement your clinical knowledge with over 70 client case studies, which are regularly assessed by your teacher in order to monitor your development and competence. There is a formal examination at the end of each year before students are awarded their qualification. Annually, this includes two practical client treatment assessments, and two theoretical exams covering anatomy and physiology, and the principles and philosophy of Amatsu.
Initially
you will be taught how to gain information from the body and learn skills such
as observation, questioning, testing, and palpation. Having these skills will
open up the world around you and it is the foundation of the whole course.
We understand how important it is for a career as a practitioner to be financially successful and so we include modules on running a small business and client management. For pricing, locations and course dates information please contact the individual training schools whose details you can find on training - training schools.
The first year: Anma focuses on Japanese massage skills and concentrates on assessing and treating the musculature of the human body. At the end of this year you will receive an Anma massage qualification. This means that you can start treating clients in a professional capacity after your first year of study.
The second year: Seitai builds upon the theory, practical skills and techniques from the first year and extends your knowledge and understanding of the body’s ligamentous structure. Together they form the full Amatsu practitioner qualification.
Subsequent higher levels of study for your development are available once your practitioner qualification has been gained, in Shinden Jutsu and Kenku. For further information on the different Amatsu levels please go to training - the levels.
