By learning about foot reflexology, you can learn to take care of y our feet and the rest of y our body at the same time.
Reflexology is a natural healing technique based on the principle that there are points (reflexes) in the hands and feet that correspond to all parts, glands, and organs of the body; by palpating these points, we can assist the body directly in balancing itself, immediately reducing stress and increasing circulation; indirectly, as we support the body's natural ability to heal itself, all of the body systems are affected in a positive way.
By learning about foot reflexology, you can learn to take care of y our feet and the rest of y our body at the same time.Reflexology is a very effective therapy that is becoming recognized as an important modality of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM).
In fact, according to the World Health Organization, 24% of Canadians visited CAM practitioners in 1999; of those, 2% visited reflexologists, an increase of 100% over the previous 5 years.
Join us -- in small classes -- to learn how to use foot reflexology as a health care practice. Prepare yourself to treat family and friends as well as to become a certified practitioner who can work in your own practice, as part of a CAM group, or for a spa.
You will learn the theory upon which reflexology is based, and you will become familiar with both a basic foot routine and various supporting routines that will relieve various health imbalances.
On-line learning activities will help you study, alone or with others, and will prepare you for the final exams. Through guided case studies, you will get sufficient practice to become comfortable enough to work on new clients of your own.
Successful completion of this course will give you a basic working knowledge of the safe use of reflexology as a professional practice or as an add-on in a related discipline such as nursing or massage therapy.
In addition, you will become eligible to apply for membership in the Reflexology Association of Canada or a similar organization in your province as a Professional Member.
