Getting To Know Those Who Practice Reflexology


Those who practice reflexology professionally are known as therapists, or reflexologists. They prefer to treat the patient instead of the disease. They do need to have sound background knowledge of the human anatomy and the physiology of the most common of diseases and disorders. A good therapist has the ability to have empathy for the client and to be able to see the needs of the client. Therapists also need to possess good communication skills for dealing with the public at large and the client in particular.

It is important that those that practice reflexology complete competent training.

There is a gradual cessation from first experiencing sessions where relaxation is reached to further sessions in which the outcome goes beyond relaxation and into creating improved circulation and improved function of the neuro-circulation of both blood and lymph. These can improve the neuro-endocrine system and promote homeostasis. Healing of the body occurs when toxins are removed from the body. Each one of us has an individual regenerative power within our body.

Those who treat with reflexology must be trained to recognize the connection between feeling good and the state of health of the body. Relieving stress can benefit the body greatly. The reflexologist needs to be able to communicate with the client and accurately access possible problem areas. The patient needs to relate to the therapist how well the therapy is doing; the patient gives the therapist feedback on the pressure applied and the comfort level of the session.

Reflexology is a broad field and encompasses many avenues in which a practitioner can choose. Reflexology has been used in the birthing process to relax and to relieve nausea that is sometimes felt during labor. There are those who combine reflexology with color therapy, or use sound reflexology. There is also Precision Reflexology (focusing on points of the feet to ensure good health).

Reflexology is easy to learn. It is practiced all over the world. There are reflexology schools, International council of reflexologists, directories where you can locate reflexologists in your area, and there are associations where reflexologists can gather to share tips, network with others and stay current on events in the reflexology world. There are many places to gather, meet others who are in the reflexology field and learn about the standards of care expected of them. Joining an association is a great way to lend credibility to your service.

When considering becoming a reflexologist it is wise to prepare ahead of time by taking health related classes in high school and in college classes. Volunteering in hospitals, or centers working the elderly can help to accustom you to being sensitive to the needs of others. The actual education requires that you participate while in college and to take a 6-month to one-year class in practical work. You can become certified through organization like the American Reflexology Certification Board.

The obvious is that someone who treats others hands and feet needs to feel comfortable doing so. Often times reflexologists are self-employed and need to know how to market their services. Many reflexology organizations have information that can help those who are interested find information about becoming a reflexologist. A new reflexologist can register with directories and organizations to attract new clients.
