Reflexology

Practiced since ancient Roman and Egyptian times, Reflexology is the skillful and purposeful manipulation of the soft tissue of the feet and hands. The goals are to improve circulation, normalize body function and reduce stress by stimulating nerve reflex activity throughout the body from sensory receptors located in specific areas of the feet and hands. Our Reflexology program is designed to train accomplished professionals who can respond knowledgeably to a wide spectrum of client situations.

The Integrated Courses Format

In the Integrated Courses Format, 6 required Reflexology courses, which comprise 80 hours of this comprehensive 142-hour program, have been blended into two 14-week trimesters for a gradual assimilation of the material and a smooth progression through the hands-on techniques. Students also complete 30 hours of required course work at their own pace in the individual course format with the required courses offered various days and times. These courses are Skin and Infectious Diseases, Ethical considerations in Bodywork and the Professional Practice for Reflexologists and are not included in the Integrated program hours but are taken concurrently. Students then utilize the knowledge gained in fulfilling 32 hours of supervised clinic working on clients provided by the Institute.

Graduates of the Program are fully prepared to set up practice in a variety of professional settings and are encouraged to sit for a national Reflexology certification examination.
