Description

Nowadays, reflexology clients are among "patients" who seek to add this ancient healing practice to their current medical treatments plans. People know that this natural healing modality is very harmless and highly effective: Improving the sense of well-being
It seems crucial for reflexologists today to know about its contraindications and precautions. Why? Because their clients/patients ask about how and if Reflexology can help alleviate their background disease while not being harmful to their current disease. They have High Blood Pressure, long-time diabetes, and so on.
Upon reaching your office, without expecting you to make a diagnosis or prescribe a drug- which is forbidden for a Reflexologist- they want and expect you to know how may Reflexology interfere with their disease. Without having a piece of basic knowledge about:
Contraindication: The conditions that Reflexology is Not allowed, and
Precautions: The conditions that Reflexology must be done very cautiously,
You will not be able to offer a professional service today.
Moreover, not knowing when to refer your clients to their doctor will destroy your job as a reflexologist!
Therefore, this introductory course which is unique in its title, will help open gates to "know more" about different conditions and "engage more effectively" with your patients and clients.
