ITEC LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN REFLEXOLOGY

Units 4 - International

Entry requirement - ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology

The manipulation of the hands and feet is a form of holistic treatment stretching far back in history through Japan, India, China and Egypt. The underlying principle is that of reflex points and areas on the hands and feet that correspond to body areas, glands and organs. Treatment by a Reflexologist involves massage/pressure into these points which serve to not only stimulate the nerve endings but influence the whole body in a natural way. Reflexology together with many other complementary therapies has gained increasing awareness and popularity in recent years and is now widely accepted as a safe and natural important way to compliment existing traditional medicine. As a result opportunities and posts exist for practicing therapists in: Health & Fitness Clubs and Centres, Spas, Clinics, Hospitals and even Cruise ships and Airlines. Together with private practice from home or clinic, combinations and possibilities of work are endless.
