Trigger Point Therapy

I spent months researching every major school in Chiang Mai—ITM, Sunshine, Old Medicine—using Google and AI tools. Most of them felt like "tourism schools," focused more on the social experience and basic routines than on building a career. For someone like me, who needs a real, marketable skill to support a household, I couldn't afford to waste time on a hobby. RSM International Academy stood out immediately because the reviews were from serious professionals focused on actual clinical results.

The training led by Hironori Ikeda (MSc Sports Medicine) was exactly the level of expertise I was looking for. 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 class was a deep dive into functional anatomy and kinetic chain analysis. We used over 600 anatomical images to bridge the gap between theory and hands-on Trigger Point Therapy. We also spent a lot of time on our own posture and positioning, which is vital if you want to work in this field long-term without burning out your own body.

The intensity was incredible; four hours felt like minutes. Even with a mix of experienced 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. I needed to know that I could walk into a clinic and actually deliver results, and this program gave me that.

What really confirmed my choice was talking to students from other schools during lunch. They were stuck in shallow, repetitive programs and told me they wished they could switch to RSM immediately. It made me realize that if you’re serious about gaining a professional edge and mastering manual therapy, RSM is the only real choice. I honestly can’t imagine going anywhere else.
