Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art. Based on the theory that the human body has its own internal energy lines and that ill health can arise from an imbalance of energy, this course shows how to find and use Reflexology points on the foot relating to different parts of the body in order to restore that balance, to prevent ill health and to assist relaxation. It treats mind body and spirit. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Practitioners of Reflexology work in hospitals, nursing homes, sports centres, natural health centres and beauty salons etc., or independently from home or visiting clients in their own homes.
