Basic Reflexology
Reflexology is an alternative therapy involving the application of pressure through hand and finger massage techniques to the reflex points around the feet. These points will affect specific body parts and help the body return to a balanced state by relieving stress and tension. The Basic Reflexology training course offers an introduction to the fundamental concepts of Reflexology and teaches students to perform Reflexology treatments on their clients.
Training: 60 hours
