Institute of Massage and Asian Bodywork
Our Asian Bodywork massage course encompasses traditional
healing techniques from Thailand, China, India, and Indonesia
Japan. These techniques focus on the balance of energy in the
body through the use of pressure points, passive stretching,
reflexology, and relaxation techniques.
The therapy focuses on opening energy pathways in the body such
as the Chinese meridians, the Indian nadis and Thai sen lines. The
body is viewed as being comprised of subtle energy centers, that
when blocked or restricted, the person experiences mal health and
disharmony in the body, mind and spirit.
While Asian body therapy may contain some elements of traditional
Western massage, they are not one in the same and the intent is
different. The Department of Education has a totally separate
definition of ABT from massage. ABT practices such as Thai Yoga
and shiatsu are not included in the definition of massage, and
massage is not in any part of the definition of ABT.
Recognized forms of Asian Body Therapy defined by the
Department of Education include: acupressure, AMMA® Therapy,
Five Element/Japanese Shiatsu, Jin Shin Do® Anma Therapy, Thai
massage, Tui Na, Qigong and Okazaki®.

Massage and Bodywork Certification Requirements
Employment for massage therapists is expected to increase 20
percent from 2006 to 2016, faster than average for all
occupations. Employment will grow as more people learn about
the benefits of massage therapy and as many people demand
alternative healthcare. This field is attractive for many people
who want to set their own hours, work from home and enjoy more
time with their family and doing leisure activities.
