Reflexology
Pre: None –
Cost: $468 - Hours: 39
Reflexology is an
ancient therapeutic modality that uses a specific technique on the
feet (also on the hands and ears) to restore the flow of energy
throughout the entire body promoting relaxation and healing
elsewhere in the body. It is based on the principle that each part
of the body is interconnected through the nervous system to the
hands and feet. Stimulating specific reflex points in the feet can
restore balance to poorly functioning areas of the body to help
restore homeostasis throughout the body. Reflexology is an
excellent therapeutic tool for relieving stress, digestive
disorders, and muscle tension among others. It complements other
therapeutic modalities. Students are required to pass a practical
exam after having completed 50 case studies to receive accreditation
for the course. Practical Exam: $60.00 payable to the teacher.
