I was brought up as a carer, having a younger brother who has Down's Syndrome, but that still didn't mean I would like to work with feet. However, that eight week course helped me decide to go on and become a professional reflexologist. It is important to like what you are doing when you are dealing with people. It is a non-invasive therapy. Some of the main reflexes in the foot, and the parts of the body to which they relate.
Reflexology stimulates the blood circulation which helps to unblock nerve impulses.
It stimulates the lymphatic system which helps rid the body of toxins. It relieves stress and tension and helps the body achieve balance. I think that each person puts their personality into their practice of reflexology. Some may be more holistic than others and some of the reflex points may be differently named, but it is a total treatment where the whole person is treated. When the complete foot is worked, the end result is that all the systems of the body have been treated.
