Reflexology Techniques

REFLEXOLOGY

The reflexology practice on face, hands and feet works both therapeutically and as a diagnostic tool, simultaneously.

Since its origin, reflexology has evolved over time as an empirical know-how whose fundamental trait is the treatment of affected areas without actually touching them (such as joints, muscles, organs and nerves).

This theory is based on the projection of the human body’s organs and systems in areas and points of the face, hands and feet. Treatments are accomplished by using different pressure on such points by means of the therapist's hands or other tools.
Acupuncture meridian techniques are also used, as well as lymphatic drainage techniques on foot, scar energetic restoring and revitalization of the nervous system, as an integral part of this technique.

Its action is detoxifying and draining, providing positive results on emotional balance as well as in our surrounding magnetic field that connects us with the outside world.


Reflexology of the face is faster, deeper and more effective due to its proximity to the brain.

Korean Reflexology is a synthesis which correlates a series of body maps. Having a parallel approach (without touching the symptomatic area). It is very effective in immediate events.

The therapist's procedures are defined by the treated person’s needs and its manifestations, making each treatment different and unique.



INTERACTIVE REFLEXOLOGY
Is the technique we propose in our COURSES.

Its name comes from the summary and interaction of different approaches and reflexologic techniques.
Used according individual needs, providing in its integral aplication a greater quantity of therapeutic resources.

Reflexology technique offers the advantage of treating an affected area without touching it.

I have set up this course in a way that there is no need to remove clothes, to warm up a room or to be in a special place for its practice.

It is designed to be taught in companies and other working places- as well as in the street, inside bars, in family or in educational environments.

In its practice, health and vital energy are optimized by contributing to personal relations as well as to personal well-being, including the day-by-day environment.

The Course Develops a series of  Korean and Vietnamese reflexology maps and complementary know-how. This enables a quick assessment of the treated person and the possibility of operating with the therapeutic harmonization of symptoms such as pain, stress, various mood swings, muscle contracture, inflammation, digestive disorders, sleeping issues, and others.

It includes the following materials:

• 2 instruments and 1 cream with extracts for the facial treatment.

The Course duration (will vary according to the amount of participants) would be 3 hours, with a short break.
