Welche Shiatsu Stile gibt es in der Schweiz?

Die Ausbildungen in Shiatsu hier in der Schweiz gehen in der Regel auf Tenpeki Tamai, Takujiro Namikoshi und Shizuto Masunaga zurück, die alle drei zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern dieser Methode zählen. Tamai gab dieser Methode der Manualtechnik 1919 ihren Namen, Namikoshi entwickelte basierend auf den westlich-medizinischen Grundlagen der Chiropraxis und den fernöstlichen Erkenntnissen der Energien einen eigenständigen Stil. Masunaga zog zu den traditionellen Gesundheitslehren und Manualtechniken zudem psychologische Aspekte hinzu und erweiterte die Meridianlehre. Daraus ergaben sich neue Shiatsu-Techniken, die auch in Europa bis heute am häufigsten angewandt werden.

Ist es auch möglich, nur kurze Seminare in Shiatsu zu besuchen oder gibt es nur komplette Ausbildungen?

Nicht für jeden muss es immer eine ganze Ausbildung sein, daher werden auch eintägige Seminare und Workshops im Bereich der Asiatischen Medizin angeboten, so auch zu Shiatsu. In solchen Kursen können all jene, die sich mit diesem interessanten Thema beschäftigen wollen, einen ersten Eindruck von dieser Praktik erlangen und Wissen für den Alltagsgebrauch mitnehmen. Aufbauend darauf können bei Interesse weiterführende Kurse belegt werden.

Wie ist die Weiterbildung in Shiatsu gegliedert?

Je nachdem, welchen Abschluss Sie anstreben, ist Ihre Ausbildung unterschiedlich aufgebaut. Grundsätzlich absolvieren Sie zur Erlangung des Branchenzertifikats der OdA KT (Organisation der Arbeitswelt KomplementärTherapie) eine Ausbildung in Ihrer gewählten Methode, also etwa in Shiatsu, eine Tronc Commun KT Ausbildung, ein Praktikum und darauf aufbauend eine kompetenzorientierte Abschlussprüfung (Gleichwertigkeitsverfahren ist möglich). Das Branchenzertifikat KT ist Voraussetzung für die Zulassung zur Höheren Fachprüfung (HFP), für die Sie zusätzlich zwei Jahre supervidierte komplementärtherapeutische Berufserfahrung benötigen. Für die HFP erstellen Sie eine Fallstudie und werden dann im Fachgespräch geprüft, erstellen eine Analyse einer komplexen Arbeitssituation und eine Reflexion spezifischer Fachthemen.

Gibt es auch einen eidgenössisch anerkannten Abschluss in der Shiatsu Therapie?

Seit dem Jahr 2015 besteht die Möglichkeit, eine höhere Fachprüfung (HFP) in der Komplementärtherapie abzulegen und ein eidgenössisches Diplom «KomplementärTherapeut/in» zu erlangen.

Shiatsu brings balance and relaxation!

If you already have a medical background, e.g. as a massage therapist, then it can be very valuable to attend a Shiatsu course and get to know another form of therapy. Shiatsu helps in every life situation. It is based on the movement of life and the balance of yin and yang, the functions and progression of the meridians and the views of the five phases of change. It is based on the ancient and traditional Chinese concept.

Through touch, the energy in the body and mind is released again and the energy flow takes its course. The art of shiatsu is to pick up on how you feel and to touch and act accordingly. Communication also plays an important role in the treatment - the therapist must be able to create a good basis of trust.

Questions and answers

Which Shiatsu styles are available in Switzerland?

Training in Shiatsu here in Switzerland generally goes back to Tenpeki Tamai, Takujiro Namikoshi and Shizuto Masunaga, all three of whom are among the most important representatives of this method. Tamai gave his name to this manual technique in 1919, while Namikoshi developed his own style based on the Western medical principles of chiropractic and the Far Eastern knowledge of energies. Masunaga added psychological aspects to the traditional health teachings and manual techniques and expanded the meridian teachings. This resulted in new Shiatsu techniques, which are still the most commonly used in Europe today.

Is it also possible to attend only short seminars in Shiatsu or are there only complete training courses?

Not everyone needs to attend a full training course, which is why one-day seminars and workshops are also offered in the field of Asian medicine, including Shiatsu. In such courses, all those who want to get to grips with this interesting subject can gain a first impression of this practice and take away knowledge for everyday use. If you are interested, you can build on this by attending further courses.

How is continuing education, further training in Shiatsu structured?

Depending on which qualification you are aiming for, your training will be structured differently. Basically, to obtain the branch certificate of the OdA KT (Organization of the Working World Complementary Therapy), you complete training in your chosen method, for example in Shiatsu, a Tronc Commun KT training course, an internship and, building on this, a competence-oriented final examination (equivalence procedure is possible). The KT industry certificate is a prerequisite for admission to the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE), for which you also need two years of supervised professional experience in complementary therapy. For the AFPE, you prepare a case study and are then examined in a specialist discussion, prepare an analysis of a complex work situation and a reflection on specific specialist topics.

Is there also a federally recognized qualification in Shiatsu therapy?

Since 2015, it has been possible to take an Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) in complementary therapy and obtain a federal diploma in "Complementary Therapist".
