This course will provide an Introduction to Foot Reflexology and a basic guide for the practical application of Reflexology techniques. The theory behind Foot Reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. Practitioners apply pressure to these reflex areas to help promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways. A scientific explanation is that the pressure sends signals that balance the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins to reduce pain and stress. The benefits of

reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. The feet help set the tension level for the rest of the body, therefore foot reflexology is a non-invasive treatment to interrupt the stress signal and reset the body's equilibrium.

Upon completion of this course, students will have a firm understanding of the reflexive points on the feet and how they relate to areas of the body. They will also have a full 60-minute treatment plan.
