Acupressure training: Relieve pain and discomfort with finger pressure

Acupressure grew out of ancient traditional Chinese medicine and was originally called Jin Shin Do. In TCM, it is assumed that meridians, so-called life energy pathways, flow throughout the body. There are certain points on these meridians that have an influence on individual organs. By applying targeted finger pressure to these points, the energy pathways to these organs are strengthened and any disruption to the energy flow is interrupted. In this way, two meridian points are always connected with each other. Acupressure not only has an effect on the body, it can also have a positive influence on the soul. The aim of the treatment is to harmonize and renew the life energy and strengthen well-being. In contrast to the related acupuncture, acupressure is applied without aids and therefore does not damage the skin. Would you like to expand the range of treatments offered in your practice and attend a course?

Then you will find numerous offers and interesting information about further training in the massage and health sector on the education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.


Questions and answers

Anders als bei der Akupunktur werden bei der Akupressur keine Nadeln oder andere Hilfsmittel verwendet, die in die Haut einbringen. Bei dieser Behandlungsmethode werden Blockaden und Stagnationen innerhalb der Meridiane durch sanfte Berührungen an exakt diagnostizierter Stelle gelöst. Therapeuten dieses Fachbereichs verfügen über sehr feine Sinne, die sie innerhalb ihrer umfangreichen Ausbildung erlangen und trainieren, so dass sie diese Blockaden aufgrund verschiedener Diagnoseverfahren, wie der Gesichtsdiagnostik, der Körperhaltung und der Pulsdiagnose wahrnehmen und beseitigen können. In jeder Therapie wird neben unterstützenden Berührungen auch Gesprächsführung als Mittel der Behandlung eingesetzt und den Patienten die Möglichkeit gegeben, seine Ängste und Befürchtungen zu kommunizieren, wahrzunehmen und ihnen unter Anleitung entgegenzutreten. Die Akupressur ist demnach mehr als nur das blosse Berühren des Körpers, sondern vielmehr eine ganzheitliche Behandlungsmethode, die Körper und Geist vereint.

A complementary therapist in acupressure therapy practices the following activities after acupressure training:

  • Apply manual pressure to the acupoints with your hands and fingers
  • Optimize Qi flow in the energy channels
  • Strengthening self-healing powers and resilience
  • have a health-promoting, relaxing and invigorating effect on the physical and mental level
  • Carry out an accompanying process-centered conversation as part of the acupressure therapy

An acupressure massage course is at least a 3-year part-time course (500 lessons). The qualification is either the school's own diploma or certificate or a qualification from an association, an organization or an industry label. In order to obtain the industry certificate in complementary therapy, an internship and a so-called "Tronc Commun" (natural science, social science, profession-specific basics) must be completed in addition to the training in the method. After subsequent professional practice with accompanying supervision, the Higher Professional Examination (HFP) in Complementary Therapy with a federal diploma can be taken.

Abhängig davon welche Schule Sie wählen und für welche Art von Ausbildung in der Akupressur Sie sich entscheiden, werden Ihnen Inhalte in verschiedenem Umfang vermittelt. So haben Sie beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, sich in einem Einsteigerkurs über die Kunst der TCM zu informieren, die grundlegenden Theorien und Philosophien zu erlernen und unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten der Diagnose, etwa die des Pulses, des Gesichts oder der Zunge, kennen zu lernen. Sie wissen nach einer solchen Ausbildung um die 55 Akupunkte, die 14 Meridianverläufe, die 5 Wandlungsphasen und die energetischen Wechselwirkungen und sind fähig, verschiedene Akupressur- und Tunia-Methoden selbständig zu praktizieren. In einem Weiterführungskurs sowie verschiedenen Spezialkursen erhalten Sie vertiefende Einblicke in den Bereich der Akupressur und haben auch die Möglichkeit, einen Diplom-Lehrgang abzuschliessen. Weitere Informationen dazu erhalten Sie bei den entsprechenden Bildungsanbietern.

Die Akupressur ist eine alternativmedizinische Behandlung, bei der das Qi, die Lebensenergie aller Lebewesen wieder ins Fliessen gebracht wird, durch Lösen von Blockaden und Stauungen innerhalb des Geweben und der Meridiane. Diese Anwendung aus der chinesischen Medizin kann bei vielerlei Beschwerden helfen, unter anderem:

  • Schlafproblemen
  • Immunsystemstörungen
  • Schwangerschaftsbeschwerden
  • Einschränkungen des Bewegungsapparates
  • Depressionen
  • Menstruationsbeschwerden
  • Schmerzen
  • Hormonstörungen
  • Störungen des Lymphsystems
  • Beschwerden innerhalb der Organe und des zentralen sowie vegetativen Nervensystems
  • Verdauungsbeschwerden
  • Tinitus
  • Migräne
  • Gelenkserkrankungen
  • Asthma
  • Hauterkrankungen
  • Wirbelsäulenerkrankungen
  • Sinustis
  • Allergien

Nicht jede Krankenkasse erkennt jede Komplementärmedizinische Methode an, so auch nicht die der Akupressur. Dennoch kann man sagen, dass eine Vielzahl von Krankenkassen Praktiker/innen anerkennen, die über eine professionelle Ausbildung verfügen und den Richtlinien des EMR (ErfahrungsMedizinisches Register) oder der ASCA (Schweizerische Stiftung für Komplementärmedizin) entsprechen. Dazu ist eine Mindeststundenanzahl einzuhalten (EMR für EM 200 Stunden, SM 150 Stunden; ASCA Stufe 1 150 Stunden, Stufe 2 250 Stunden) sowie teilweise vorgeschriebene Inhalte. Nähere Informationen dazu finden Sie auf der jeweiligen Homepage, bei den einzelnen Schulen oder Krankenkassen.

The following requirements are placed on acupressure training:

  • Completed three-year basic vocational training or technical secondary school certificate or vocational, technical or high school diploma or equivalent qualification
  • Empathy
  • Enjoy working with different people, including touching, active communication and support
  • Willingness to develop personally and professionally

The acupressure mat (needle mat) stimulates the pressure points of the body (acupressure points). This has a beneficial effect on the entire body and can help to alleviate various complaints such as headaches (acupressure headaches), back pain or sleep disorders. The pressure of the needles on the skin stimulates the body to produce endorphins (hormones that have a pain-relieving effect). An alternative aid is the acupressure pen, which is specially designed for massages and acupressure.
