REFLEXOLOGY
Entrance requirement: Diploma in Swedish Massage.

Reflexology is the art and science of applying specific techniques to the reflex points found in the hands and feet.

The course covers six weekends and the subjects include: - history of reflexology, its uses and benefits, practical competences, mapping hands and feet, pathology, stress, energies and practice management.
Homework and case studies form part of the course.

This Diploma course is designed to lead the physical therapist through techniques for restoring balance and harmony to the mind and body, by working on the physical and emotional body mapped out on the hands and feet.

As health deteriorates so energy becomes blocked. Reflexology helps this energy to flow efficiently again, giving the body the chance to heal itself.

Reflexology can also be used as a diagnostic tool and for relieving stress, as well as helping the body to deal with pathological conditions.

Business Management forms part of the course and the graduate may choose to be either self-employed or seek employment at a Health Centre, Complementary Centre, Sports Club or Hotel.
