Course Description

Help People Get Out of Pain Using a Proven Acupressure System

Pain is one of the biggest reasons people seek massage therapy—but simply pressing on painful areas rarely solves the problem.

In this course, you'll learn a practical, step-by-step system for identifying the real cause of pain and using acupressure techniques to help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve your clients' quality of life.

Whether you're treating yourself, your family, or your massage clients, you'll gain techniques you can begin using immediately.

Learn From One of the World's Best-Selling Massage Instructors

I'm Mark Perren-Jones, a best-selling massage instructor with over 300,000 students worldwide and more than 30 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career I've treated elite athletes, celebrities, and even Presidents, built an award-winning massage clinic, and helped therapists in over 150 countries improve their skills.

The techniques you'll learn in this course aren't simply taken from books—they've been refined through decades of successfully treating real clients with pain and movement problems.

Why This Course Is Different

Many acupressure courses simply teach pressure points.

This course teaches you how to think like a therapist.

You'll learn how to assess each condition, identify the underlying cause of the pain, choose the correct treatment, and prescribe simple home exercises that help your clients recover faster and stay pain-free longer.

What You'll Learn

  • A complete assessment system for common pain conditions.

  • Powerful acupressure techniques that are easy to learn and highly effective.

  • Trigger point therapy and soft tissue techniques that complement acupressure perfectly.

  • How to identify the true source of pain instead of simply treating the symptoms.

  • Self-treatment techniques you can use at home.

  • Home exercises that improve long-term results.

Conditions You'll Learn to Treat

You'll learn practical treatment strategies for:

  • Lower back pain and sciatica.

  • Neck pain.

  • Shoulder pain.

  • Upper back pain.

  • Tennis elbow.

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome.

  • Knee pain.

  • And many other common musculoskeletal conditions.

Perfect for Beginners and Professionals

Whether you're an experienced massage therapist looking to expand your clinical skills or someone wanting to help friends, family, or yourself, this course provides a logical, easy-to-follow system that anyone can learn.

By the end of the course, you'll have the confidence to assess pain more accurately, treat it more effectively, and help people move with greater comfort and freedom.

You'll also receive a Certificate of Completion, lifetime access, instructor support, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Enhance client relaxation and pain management. Increase my confidence in treating chronic pain and stress-related conditions.

By Michele Arseneault on 3/13/2026

This was a great course with very detailed information! I enjoyed the format of the course and the instructor's knowledge on the subject. My favorite part was the information on making your own pain relieving butters. I will be doing this! As a Registered Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist and Naturopathic Doctor, Acupressure for pain will be very useful in all aspects of my practice. Thank you Mark! You knowledge shines through.

By Dominique Guin on 2/4/2026

I would have loved for the course to discuss emotional relation to the acupressure points. I've noticed that some tension held within the body and subtle energy body, if not from injury or nutrient/vitamin deficiency can be caused by emotional distress. Overall, the course kept me engaged with the instructors personality as well as emphasizing certain points. As someone who is a visual learner, it would have been great to see maybe circular stickers on bare skin where acupressure points are located, however, I feel the explanation regarding what bones, bulges, or muscles to look for to find the points were also sufficient.

Best course from Mark yet – and I’ve already seen a lot! I really appreciate the way you support people in improving their health – with knowledge, clarity, and a calm presence. Even as a professional, I learned a lot, and many ideas are directly applicable for my clients. One of the best courses on Udemy, hands down.

I've just completed another one of your courses Mark- accupresure massage- this time. I always go back and watch the sessions and i practice on myself or with others. Thank you so much for showing all those special techniques. I've learned and keep learning so many thingsfrom you. The sessions are very comprehensive, the videos are detailed and ebooks are very helpful. I am an aromatherapy lover and at this time i keep practicing with 3 of your courses. I also experiment with your massage sessions. They are sooo many more courses on my wishlist made by you..Could it be possible to sent me the certifications? I've never asked before for that but now I prepare to open my own studio and I need to show some extra certification with my studies in holistic therapies. I'm a yoga/ breathwork instructor. The sessions that I've finished are: Acupressure massage for pain relief, Thai feet reflexology. With the aromatherapy courses i keep learning. I don't need the points, just the certifications. My full name is Theodora Chrysanthopoulou, and my email is: nobodydora@gmail.com I'm grateful for being one of your students

Mark was informative and easy to listen too. I have had small injuries due to gym and I was interested in learning acupressue to realease the tension and painful areas. I have enjoyed this course teachings and am now interested in assisting friends and family. I did find that it would be much easier if the course content was downloadable via word doc otherwise, fantasic. I also look forward to doing more courses from Mark.

By Jonathan Jones on 12/10/2020

I personally enjoyed the whole course, it was refreshing, the way Mark teaches, is was made easy to follow with clear instructions, the aid of video tutorials and recourses that you can print and keep in your folder for future reference. I have a further two courses that Im ready to start with Mark... I know that I will enjoy them! Thanks Mark, you have instilled me with confidence :)
