Think of blood flowing in an artery. If the energy flow is unimpeded then the body is healthy, if it becomes blocked then part of the body becomes ill, just as part of the body becomes ill if blood flow is blocked or impeded. The art of reflexology is to free off energy flow by working on the feet and hands. The feet and hands are the focus for treatment because that is where we can get the easiest access to the body s energy system. The full potential of this healing art will be appreciated as a deep understanding of these underlying energies is gained.
All practical work done in class is under the supervision and guidance of a tutor.
Students begin by working on themselves to gain basic skills and then progress to working on classmates to gain experience in identifying reflex points. Practising on friends and family between study weekends further improves treatment skills. Towards the end of the course students work on members of the public, in a clinical situation, under the supervision of tutors. This ensures that the skills have been thoroughly absorbed and can be applied. Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy and physiology is taught using structured home study modules backed up by classroom lectures.
