COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that when palpated stimulate their referral areas within each zone, energy meridian and chakra center, which stimulate better function and energy flow to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body. Flowing reflexology is an adaptation of this effective land treatment technique into water to provide the practitioner with an effective aquatic bodywork tool that can be combined with other aquatic body work techniques or stand on its own. Use flowing reflexology for the treatment of chronic pain, neurological conditions, chronic disease and chronic tension.  

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1) Examine the reflex points of the feet that correspond with the healing of the internal organs.

2) Activate the reflexes through various pressure, vibration, and palpation techniques.

3) Utilize water and footwork to incorporate movement of the entire body into the foot treatment.
