Training.

Japanese Massage Program
Zen Shiatsu, also known as Masunaga Therapy, is a form of Asian
Body Therapy that uses a deep, invigorating, style of massage. It
uses thumb, elbow, knee and palm pressure to energy channels or
meridians. It reinforces principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine
and is thought to stimulate the natural healing powers of the body,
restoring balance and well-being.

It can be used for pain relief, improving recovery time after an
illness or injury, deep relaxation, and increased circulation and
energy.

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.
