Integrating Reflexology and Five-Element Theory

E1034 - Massage CE Program - 12 CE Hour(s)

Reflexology has been an effective way to relieve stress, alleviate pain and combat ailments. Integrating traditional Chinese Medicine and standard Western reflexology practice, this continuing education course identifies reflexology points and the corresponding Chinese meridians on the foot for a unique and proven method to getting even better results. In simple and straightforward terms, the course text explains why the meridians are essential for reflexology, how to use meridian therapy and the 5 elements for effective assessment and treatment, how to relate structural foot problems to imbalances in the rest of the body and much more.

In this course, you will explore:

how Europe and America influenced the development of reflexology; the Chinese connection, and the ways that zones and meridians relate to each other
the differences between energy and Chi
the yin/yang, 5 elements and meridian theories
why the meridians are essential for reflexology
correct applications of meridian theory and the 5 elements in reflexology practice
how the muscles, each of the 5 elements, and the 12 meridians relate to health and to massage and bodywork practice
each specific area of the foot and its corresponding reflexive area of the body
structural foot problems affecting imbalances in the rest of the body
the responsibilities of a reflexologist, common client reactions and how to determine the appropriate length of treatment
the correct way to perform the basic treatment techniques and the recommended sequence for a reflexology treatment

Dozens of illustrations are included to guide readers step-by-step through the treatments.
