Distant Education Course Information

This comprehensive Hand Reflexology program, specifically focuses on the hands, and is a must add-on for the dedicated Professional Reflexologist. 

Hand Reflexology is excellent for self treatment; working with bed-ridden or disabled clients; client homework is simple and easy for the client to remember and use; working with the hands can also be used when working on the feet is impractical or not possible, such as in an emergency situation.

Will I get a Certificate?

Yes! A Universal College of Reflexology certificate is awarded upon successful completion.

How different is Hand and Foot Reflexology?

Hand Reflexology, although following the same basic principles of Foot Reflexology, is performed quite differently. The feet are usually worked on in one position only, hands however may be presented a number of different ways, held up as if doing a high five, or palms down - thumbs in or palms facing up and thumbs on the outside, thus completely changing the way the Hand Reflexology Map relates to the actual hand.

This program gives certification as a Hand Reflexologist when the written, practical examinations, assignment and practicum are all successfully completed. This course is also part of the Advanced Reflexology Diploma Program. The text for this program is a fully illustrated comprehensive manual.

• When time is short

• The foot is injured or has an infection

• Lower limbs have been amputated

• Client discretion required as in a hospital ward

• When foot reflexology progress has slowed or stopped

• To give to a client as homework

Can I transfer my foot techniques to the hands?

NO! Feet can only be presented in one position. Hands can have palm up or palm down, completely changing the position of zone 1 and therefore all the reflexes. Special techniques and knowledge are required to accommodate the flexibility of the hands. Also waistline and diaphragm guidelines are not so clearly defined on the hands, as they are on the feet and the spinal reflexes also present unique differences from the instep of the foot.
