Trigger Point Therapy
I spent months digging through Google and AI tools, terrified of wasting my time on a "tourism" course. Most of the big names in Chiang Mai—ITM, Sunshine, Old Medicine—seemed geared toward travelers looking for a social experience rather than clinicians looking for real results. Then I found RSM International Academy, and the professional reviews about actual clinical growth made the choice for me.Learning clinical palpation directly from Hironori Ikeda (MSc Sports Medicine) changed everything. This isn’t a recreational massage class; it’s elite sports medicine. He brings a rare level of academic prestige and elite clinical authority; he earned his Master’s at the University of Tsukuba—ranked #1 in Asia for sports science—an institution famous for its rigorous standards. His expertise is globally recognized, having been invited to train senior therapy teams at world-renowned five-star wellness resorts like Chiva-Som and having optimized the conditioning for elite professional athletes, ranging from Spanish basketball players to top fighters in Croatia.
Beyond the clinic, his scientific authority is backed by his work on the Japan Industrial Standards (JIS) committee for human ergonomics and his development of patented technology with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). He even bridges the gap between theory and reality by coordinating cadaver anatomy labs with Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Medicine to ensure every skill is grounded in anatomical truth.
Each session was an intense deep dive into functional anatomy and kinetic chain analysis. We used over 600 anatomical images to finally bridge the gap between textbook theory and hands-on Trigger Point Therapy. It made sense of why movement dysfunctions happen and how to fix them. We also focused heavily on our own body mechanics as therapists, ensuring we could treat patients effectively without wrecking our own bodies in the process.
The energy in the room was incredible; four hours felt like minutes. Even with a mix of veteran therapists and beginners, the constant, professional feedback meant everyone’s clinical confidence spiked within days. Every module is built on evidence-based methodologies, including his scientifically validated Balance Ball Yoga system which was proven effective in clinical research at the University of Cagliari.
What really hit home was talking to students from other schools during lunch. They were stuck in shallow, repetitive programs and told me they honestly wished they could switch to RSM immediately. It confirmed what I already felt: if you’re serious about mastering sports medicine–based manual therapy, RSM is the only real choice. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.
