Reflexology

Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. It is both old and new. From ancient texts, illustrations and artefacts, we know that the early Chinese, Egyptians, Japanese, Indians and Russians worked on the feet to promote good health.

Today many of these same techniques have been developed into a modern scientific method called Reflexology. What joins the ancient with the modern is the long established principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts. The examination taken at the end of this course is the I.T.E.C. Reflexology Diploma.
