Do You Love Reflexology Why Not Make It Your Career
Do You Love Reflexology Why Not Make It Your Career? If you share a passion for reflexology and desire to make it a career, there are many schools for you to choose from.
Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure in a strategic manner to reflexes of the feet and hands, and even the face and ears.
By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, we can stimulate blood flow, enhance circulation and eliminate toxin buildup in the corresponding areas of the body. Furthermore, reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages the release of endorphins, the natural feel good hormones that are well documented in relieving the effects of stress.
Reflexology is meant to bring your body to a state of well-being. Only in this state is your body able to heal itself. It is a truly amazing art and one that has a lot of opportunity as a career choice. Most reflexology schools focus on teaching students how to relieve stress with various finger, thumb and hand techniques.
It is well grounded in anatomy of the feet and legs and often times even the hands. Theories, history, and alignment exercises are also used so that students get a well-rounded education in the ancient art.
Depending on which schools you go to, you may also get a good feel for some other massage techniques as well, like shiatsu. Just as any massage college, students have clinicals under the supervision of professionals and will take competency exams both written and hands on upon completion of the program.
Most programs do offer a certificate of completion, however it is wise to find out just what your state requires to become a licensed professional.
After all what good would it do to go to school and then not be able to practice after graduation? So what can you do with your certificate? There are many things you can do once you are licensed to practice reflexology.
Quick Reflexology Fact
Before long you will notice a big difference in how you see life and that you are able to manage your day so much better. Reflexology Expectations Although reflexology is proven to be beneficial for a multitude of problems, your reflexologist cannot diagnose or claim to cure any diseases. They are not medically trained to do so. The practice of reflexology is meant to bring your body to a state of well-being. |
Not only can you work in clinics, hospitals, doctors offices and world class spas, but you can also start your own business as well. Reflexology is the fastest growing form of alternative medicine in America today.
That is good news for you, as it offers many opportunities to create a solid business structure. I am going to focus on children in this business example. Children can benefit from reflexology in many ways.
A few of the most common reasons for conventional medical treatment are ear infections, constipation and bed-wetting. Reflexology has been shown to dramatically improve these problems, and many more in children.
Moreover, more and more children today are diagnosed with diseases such as ADD, ADHD and chronic depression, among others.

If in doubt, make sure to choose a reflexologist that is a National Certificant with the American Reflexology Certification Board, although they are likely to charge more – the standards are also likely to be higher. Or if you are in another country, find your national professional body and ask their advice.
Make sure you get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation and disturbed sleep can make stress and anxiety worse. |
Where conventional medicine has failed, natural medicine can make a real difference. One of your biggest markets for such a business could be focused toward mothers dealing with colicky babies.
Colic is a very big problem, and one that can be cured naturally. If you can successfully cure a baby with colic, you will be an overnight success and the talk of the town!

Daily foot massage is all the rage in China (Miami Herald)
BEIJING - So my big toe is being squeezed between this guy's knuckles, shooting a pain up my body and straight out my ears, when I notice the guy's eyes are shut tight and his head is close to my foot, leaning into it, face calm, as if listening for something, listening very, very carefully, and I realize I may be in the presence of . . . a Toe Whisperer.
