Reflexology
VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of treatment based on the belief that the body is dependant upon a consistent flow of energy to ensure that there is optimum body function. This can be improved by the use of massage to the hands or feet using the art of reflexology.
The treatment is used for stimulation of body systems that are mapped out on the hands or on the feet. This treatment is often used in conjunction with conventional medicine in the treatment of clients who are terminally ill. It is a brilliant course for those who are employed by the health service.
It is an excellent starting point for those learners who wish to undertake a career in the holistic therapies industry.
