Massage Training and Experience

A formal full-length course at a massage or bodywork school.
Physical Therapist training, Occupational Therapist training, etc.
200 Hours total of transferable hours which include
- 120 hours of college-level Anatomy & Physiology
- 60 hours of content that is relevant to the practice of Structural Integration
- 20 hours of Ethics and Therapeutic Relationship

Emotional and Psychological Preparedness

Candidates must submit a letter expressing why they want to attend AGSI’s Basic Training Program. This letter is your opportunity to communicate about your experience with Structural Integration, why you would like to be a practitioner and why you believe you are a good candidate for the program. Please be thorough in your writing and let us know about yourself. This letter is our first opportunity to see if you are a good fit for the program.
Candidates must have life experience equal to the receiving of a bachelor degree but not limited to that. We are looking for the ability to commit to work toward a goal and the fortitude to follow through on the commitment. It does not need to be formal education. This may be met by obvious professional, business, educational, or personal accomplishments.

We want our candidates to have a strongly developed emotional intelligence. Personal insight and introspection along with experience assist in the Client/Practitioner relationship. Personal growth seminars and workshops, personal or group therapy or college courses are few ways potential students can prepare themselves.
