Clinical Reflexology - AMD4 (6 Days)

On-Campus Course Information

Pre-Requisite - Foot Reflexology Certification with UCR or approved institution

This workshop includes FREE 90 page Comprehensive Reference Manual for all Reflexologists listing over 70 conditions and specific hints, tips and areas to work to get maximum Reflexology results.

As a Reflexologist, do you use the same Reflexology routine over and over with all your clients? Do you start out with some relaxation moves? Do you then work all the reflex points on one foot, then work all the reflex points on the other foot, and then may be return to sensitive areas, then finish off with relaxation moves? Do you do this with every client?

What limits most Reflexologists is the amount of tuition they received during their training. Most Reflexologists practice Relaxation Reflexology - what they were taught in their basic course (100+ hours). They know nothing of the amazing results that can be produced with Therapeutic Reflexology. Therapeutic Reflexology is the continuing study of Reflexology and can be up to an additional 1,400 to 2,000 hours of training. This Universal College of Reflexology Therapeutic Diploma Program is just the start in gaining that additional information.

If you want faster results, if you want more effective results, if you want to boost your Reflexology sessions to the next level - then you need to take this Clinical Reflexology Techniques class. It will enhance the effectiveness of your work more than you can imagine.

This workshop is full of great tips, hints and Reflexology tidbits gathered over many years, plus serious case study scenarios which enable each student to put together all the information they have learned (in whatever modality). Knowing how to do Reflexology (finger or thumb walking etc.,) is not enough to be a successful Professional Reflexologist.

If you have never heard of Clinical Reflexology, European Reflexology or Advanced Reflexology, then you will never ask questions about it. Basic Reflexology is often taught in a 100 hour course (plus or minus 5 or 10 hours) that is considered to be the whole subject. In fact here at the Universal College of Reflexology, we have discovered that what most folks think is the complete story of Reflexology is actually only about 10 - 20% of the total information available.

A lot of Reflexologists will train to practice and work with other modalities, because of lack of results with Reflexology or their perceived limitation of what Reflexology can do.

To be a Professional Clinical Reflexologist, you need to know how to communicate with your clients, how to assess your clients, how best to work with the presenting symptoms of your client and how to legally record the whole process. These are just a few of the skills taught within this workshop.

This workshop is full of exciting ways to becoming more professional, and therefore successful in your Reflexology business.

Communication: Before you perform Reflexology on anyone, you first have to speak to them. You have to turn that initial conversation into an appointment and then explain the potential health advantages of booking a series of sessions for Reflexology. Without good client communication - you will never have a busy practice, no matter how good your Reflexology skills.

Discover how easy it is to change a casual conversation into a useful piece of advertising or an appointment. Effective communication is an essential part of being a successful Reflexologist.

Topics covered in this section of the workshop are :

• How do we Communicate?
  Words - Tone of Voice - Body Language

• You cannot NOT communicate

• How to Build a Positive Relationship

• Words have great Power

• Positive Thinking - the brain cannot understand negatives

• Strategy for Success

• Client Relationship

• Counselling

• Listening

Foot Assessment: We have tests to evaluate almost everything from blood and urine to brain activity, but what about the feet? How do we know how well our feet are operating? If you do not have some method of appraising the feet, how will your clients KNOW that they are improving health wise?

Simply feeling better is sometimes not enough to convince your client to continue booking Reflexology sessions with you. They need to be able to measure exactly how they were before receiving Reflexology and after. We need to be able to prove the effectiveness of Reflexology. How can this be done? One solution is to carry out a simple five minute foot assessment test on every client before and after you have performed a series of Reflexology sessions on them.

These assessments were devised by Dr.Wikler, a Podiatrist (Foot Doctor) specifically to be able to give an accurate assessment of health in just five minutes, using nine simple tests. These tests were so accurate he was able to correctly identify from 200 patients all those who had heart problems - simply by the results of his five minute foot test. He duplicated his results with women suffering from Breast Cancer. Again no prior knowledge of any of the patients involved, he was accurately able to identify those who were healthy and those who had cancer.

Being able to carry out an objective five minute foot assessment can really help your client to see how Reflexology is helping them. Learn this simple foot assessment, and it will soon become an essential tool in your Reflexology practice.

Topics covered under this section include:-

• Dr. Wikler (1911-1991) An introduction

• A Factor in the Cause and Prevention of Breast Cancer (Lecture Notes)

• Dr. Wikler's Assessment of the Feet

• Full Details of the Nine Assessment Tests

This course gives specific information on various illnesses and conditions, so giving the Reflexologist a better understanding of the exact reflexes to work to assist in triggering the natural healing processes of the body. The more specific you are with choosing the Reflexology points to work, the more specific and effective the body will be with the healing response.
