Introduction to foot reflexology
The subject "Introduction to reflexology" provides fundamental knowledge and serves as a basis for practical training. It begins with an overview of the history and theoretical basis of reflexology, including the development of the technique and the underlying principles that explain how reflex zones are connected to different organs and areas of the body. Participants will learn the anatomy of the foot in detail in order to identify the correct reflex zones for specific organs and body functions.
In addition, the indications and contraindications of reflexology are covered so that participants know when and how to use the technique safely. The course also includes an introduction to the scientific basis, discussing current research on the effectiveness of reflexology to promote evidence-based practice. Finally, ethical aspects and professional behavior in therapeutic practice are addressed to prepare participants for their responsibilities as therapists and to help them build a professional relationship with their patients. This module thus offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and ethics of foot reflexology.
