Training students in reflexology therapy, reflexology schools base their instruction and curriculum on an ancient art and science involving zones of the feet and hands. Reflexology schools teach students how to identify corresponding regions of these zones with relation to particular bodily systems; and how to accurately facilitate pressure points to relieve or reduce health problems.
Students who attend reflexology schools can expect to get training in how to reduce stress with specific finger, hand and thumb pressure techniques. In addition, reflexology students will learn more specifically, how real physiological improvements can be created through the precision application of reflexology.
While some states require massage licensing for reflexology school graduates, most do not; therefore, depending on individual schools and curriculums, licenses may or may not be required upon completion.
Some students may choose to earn a certificate in reflexology. Most reflexology schools that offer certificate programming may include curriculum and training regarding foot, hand and ear reflexology basics and techniques; theoretical approaches to reflexology; concept of meridians; proper alignment exercises; leg and foot anatomy; and many other relative educational programs.
