Introduction

Anyone who has experienced a basic foot massage knows how relaxing it can be. The rhythmic kneading of feet can release tension, stress and even relieve migraine headaches and back pain.

How is it that a normal foot massage can do all that – and more? Actually, massaging your feet is a form of Reflexology and can even make a difference when performed by someone who isn’t aware of the stimulation points associated with the healing art of Reflexology.

The theory behind this holistic healing art is that the feet have certain points (or triggers) that directly link to the body’s various organs. When applying direct pressure to those points, muscles relax, blood circulation is highly improved and the body’s immune system reacts by improving your overall condition.

The hands and ears can also improve certain conditions when an experienced Reflexologist applies pressure to related points. Reflexology has been used for centuries in Eastern-style medicine, but is only now making its way to serious consideration in Western medicine methods.

Anyone can learn Reflexology techniques to practice on themselves, friends or family members. There are many online classes available, and you might also find one at your local community college or health care facility.

If you’re looking for an experienced Reflexologist, search online for those who are available in your area. Most will have websites where you can learn more about the person and the services they offer – including prices.

The number of people wanting to become a Reflexologist has multiplied and is now one of the top five career options in the holistic health field. The trend toward holistic medicine as a career is a reflection of many problems in traditional health care practices.

High cost of traditional health care is one problem, and more people want permanent answers to their health problems rather than the quick fixes of surgery or pills to mask a larger problem.

If you’re thinking of pursuing a career in Reflexology, look for a program that explains the relation on the feet and hands with proper nutrition, exercise, ethics and professionalism. Also a plus, is one that teaches you about the financial end of the business.

The book, “The Wealthy Reflexologist” or “How to Make $100,000 a Year with Reflexology,” will provide some important information about how to get started on your business as a Reflexologist – and how to turn it into a stellar financial success!
