Reflexology QLS Diploma

Do you want to gain the skills necessary to provide reflexology treatments for relaxation and stress release? Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary health therapy method of relieving pain within the body based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears, correspond with different areas of the body.

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a method of relieving pain within the body by stimulating certain pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure may ease the source of the pain. In the absence of any particular abnormality, reflexology may also be as effective for promoting good health and well-being and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury and illness.

What do reflexologists do?

Reflexologists work holistically with their clients and aim to work alongside allopathic healthcare to promote better health for their clients. Reflexology is based on a very old form of therapy. It is believed that the Chinese practised reflexology as long as 6,000 years ago and the process is even depicted in carvings within the tombs of ancient Egypt.
