 Keith Economidis
is a graduate of Southwest
Acupuncture College (SWAC), where he completed a 3000 hour Masters
degree in Oriental Medicine. While the main focus in acupuncture
was more ‘TCM’ or ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine’,
Keith also took electives & clinics in Japanese styles as well.
While the end result of both styles are similar, Japanese techniques
typically utilize thinner gauge needles and less vigorous manipulation
of the needles. This makes for a less invasive & less painful
session while still achieving nice results. SWAC’s curriculum
also included extensive courses in Chinese Herbology & a variety
of Health & Biomedicine related course work in Western Pathology,
Anatomy, Physiology, and more. The program included introductory
courses in Shiatsu, Tui Na, Cupping, & Gua Sha.
Keith was certified as a Rolfer® in 1997 by the
Rolf Institute of Boulder, CO during the 700 hour basic course.
He later completed 300 more hours of continuing education and Advanced
coursework. He was certified as an Advanced Rolfer© in November
2001. Keith has been a Massage Therapist in private practice since
1993. He graduated from the Cayce/
Reilly school of Massotherapy, located in Virginia Beach, VA
in April ’04. This extensive 600 hour program was based on
the unique integration of physiotherapy and transpersonal studies.
During the first semester studies focused on a specific Cayce/ Reilly
