Course Overview
Reflexology is a holistic, non-invasive therapy that uses specific pressure techniques on reflex points found on the feet and hands. These reflex points are understood to correspond with organs, glands, and body systems, making the feet and hands “mini-maps” of the body. Through gentle, systematic techniques, reflexology aims to promote deep relaxation, support circulation, encourage balance, and assist the body’s natural wellbeing processes.
This course introduces students to the foundations, history, principles, maps, techniques, safety guidelines, consultation process, and practical application of reflexology. Students will learn how to work confidently and professionally with reflex points on the feet and hands, while understanding the importance of holistic client care, safe practice, contraindications, and aftercare.
Real Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand the principles and holistic philosophy of reflexology, identify key reflex points on the feet and hands, and explain how these areas relate to different body systems. Students will learn how to perform a structured reflexology treatment using appropriate pressure techniques, relaxation movements, and safe body mechanics.
Students will also be able to conduct a professional client consultation, recognise contraindications and contra-actions, apply hygiene and safety practices, provide aftercare advice, and keep accurate treatment records. The course also introduces the application of reflexology for general wellbeing and selected conditions, while reinforcing that reflexology is a complementary therapy and not a replacement for medical treatment.
