Consider taking a top online reflexology program. Reflexology is a massage of the points on the feet and hands that respond to acupressure. The idea is based on the belief that each of these points relate to a specific internal organ. So, when the tension is loosened with a massage on these acupressure points, the energy will flow more freely to the corresponding organ.
Most cosmetology programs do not have reflexology as a requisite. It's usually offered as a separate elective class. For example, it can be learned to enhance a nail technician's offerings.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that reflexology can treat:
- Migraine Headaches
- Sleep Problems
- Infertility
- Stress
Courses in reflexology focus on mapping each area of the hand and foot. As suggested above, each map section corresponds to an internal organ such as the lungs, the heart, the liver, etc.
All of the different reflexology schools agree on the mapped part of the art. However, schools might teach different three different massage techniques:
- Ayurvedic- massage with oil
- Rwo Shur- massage with small wooden sticks, thumbs and knuckles
- Ingham- massage using "thumb-walking" and talc
