Question for Reflexologists?


I am thinking of take the reflexology course this fall but I would like to get more information on the usability of this education in practical life. (I am already a fulltime holisitic practitioner so I would just be adding this as another service I offer)

So I was hoping you could shed some light on it for me. Since graduating from this course, how busy are you with this work? Do you have a lot of repeat customers or do they tend to be one time only visits?

Anything else you can suggest to me is appreciated. :)

I've never had a client ask for a "certified reflexologist". Although, I do use reflexology on nearly all of my clients. I would just study up on it and tailor your modalities to each client. Depending on whether you're geared more toward energy medicine, herbal, nutritional, body work or something entirely different, try a course that focuses on what you already practice or have requests for. Hope this helps! Best of luck and success to you!

Barbara and Kevin Kunz have been practicing and teaching reflexology for over 25 years, and this beautifully illustrated book is the first major update of their classic teaching manuals. With full-color photos on every page, REFLEXOLOGY is the ultimate guide to this ancient practice for students at all levels. Reflexology is the time-proven science of enhancing health and well being by stimulating defined reflex points on the feet and hands. These points have been determined by various reflexology teachers since the 1930s but it is believed that the practice has its origins in Egypt, where ancient artifacts clearly show that foot-work was considered a medical practice as early as 2330 BC. This updated text now incorporates hand and foot reflexology into one useful edition. Students familiar with earlier versions will appreciate the color-coded step-by-step procedures, full-page reflexology and Zone Theory charts, and meditations to use with clients to further deepen their healing experience. REFLEXOLOGY features the thoroughness of a textbook with the style and tone of a general readership book. Anyone interested in this ancient system of healing will do well to explore this excellent title.

Reflexology has always been an effective way to relieve stress, alleviate pain, and combat ailments, but in The New Reflexology, internationally acclaimed instructor Inge Dougans shows readers a unique and proven method for getting even better results. Her system — an integration of traditional Chinese medicine (particularly the 5 elements and their 12 meridians), diet, and standard Western reflexology practice — allows practitioners to treat a much wider variety of ailments with greater accuracy and success. In simple and straightforward terms, Dougans 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. Illustrated with dozens of line drawings that guide readers step-by-step through the treatments, this fresh and highly effective approach is sure to revolutionize the practice of reflexology as we know it.

Pregnancy Massage and Massage Therapy (A Tip for Mothers Around the Sarasota, FL Area)

Part of the planning process of starting a family is preparing the mother for the pregnancy itself. Good thing for mothers living in Sarasota and neighboring Bradenton. FL, massage spas have now started advocating the benefits of massage therapy for pregnant women.

According to research from the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), getting a regular massage before and during pregnancy has shown a 30 percent decrease of the negative symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, leg cramps, anxiety, and mood swings. There has also been some indication that getting regular pregnancy massage promoted easier and shorter delivery. Coupling pregnancy massage with aromatherapy, according to professional therapist Jaye Roberts, can greatly improve the condition of the mother and baby's well-being inside the womb.

Consulting with your doctor and  therapist

According to massage spas in Sarasota, FL that offer the pregnancy massage, it is important that you check with your obstetrician first before setting an appointment for a massage. This is because conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and skin allergies may not allow you to get the treatment. Even women in their early trimester can be at risk if they undergo the massage without a “go ahead” from the doctor. Ask your trusted Sarasota therapist about it.

Sharing important information with your therapist regarding your condition is vital for safety. These information will help your therapist know what stokes to avoid, which parts to focus on, and what oils or ointments to use or not use during the session. For oils in aromatherapy, Clary Sage, Rose Otto, and Peppermint are generally the ones avoided.

What to Expect from a Pregnancy Massage

According to one massage spa in Bradenton, FL, certified therapists should know that a pregnancy massage requires a special bed or table to keep the mother and baby safe and comfortable. Some massage spas in Sarasota. FL have special beds that allows the mother to lie face down with a hole supporting the belly. However, if this is uncomfortable for the patient, they can choose to lie on their side with supporting cushions and pillows on their back and sides. For pregnant women 5 months and beyond, it is recommended that they lie on their back to avoid excessive pressure on the blood flow to the placenta.

As with all other types of massage, a pregnancy massage therapist will focus only on the sore areas and avoid pressure points on the hands, feet, shoulders, and around the ankles. Triggering these points may induce early labor or cause discomfort and pain for the mother. One therapist from Sarasota,FL shared that, usually, they massage one side of the body first, starting with the temple, down to the neck, then to the back and hips, thighs, then to the legs. Only light pressure should be applied.

What Happens After?

You can still continue receiving massage therapy or therapeutic massage after giving birth. It is actually recommended that you do because it helps in faster recovery and stabilizes hormone levels. You can choose from a variety of massage techniques like the Swedish massage which promotes relaxation; reflexology for pain relief, improved digestive circulation and blood flow; and Touch Point Massage Therapy for renewed energy. However, it is recommended that you avoid intense techniques like deep tissue massage and sports massage. These types of massages are only for injured individuals, athletes, or physically active people. You can ask your favorite Sarasota, FL massage spa for other types of massage so you can choose the most appropriate for your current condition.
