The experience . . . These four words describe not only the study of Oriental Bodywork Therapy, but also the possibilities for personal growth available to our students. In the classroom, students practice the massage forms and various therapies on each other, while instructors supervise and suggest improvements. This causes both the body and the mind to go through rapid changes and healings. The support and understanding of fellow students, who are going through similar changes, help create a nurturing atmosphere.
Instructors are always available for additional aid and counseling as needed.
Some class sessions are preceded by stretching and warm-up exercises, including special instruction in Chi Gong, which are ancient Chinese energy cultivation techniques. There is also instruction in the application of therapeutic exercise in your massage work. From Our Director . . . In the past 40 years that I've been studying healing arts from around the world, I have found that Seifukujitsu and the Okazaki Restorative Massage method far surpasses any other. While many schools teach a variety of unconnected techniques, the Okazaki method is well organized and methodical in its application, and is extraordinarily effective.
