Introduction to Integrative Reflexology® — Level 1 | The Foot Bridge

Introduction to Integrative Reflexology® — Level 1

In this class, students will learn the basic techniques of foot reflexology through the Four Theory approach. The whole-hand technique that is taught makes it a gentle practice on both practitioner and client. This technique can be applied as a complete treatment or as a palliative enhancement for massage therapists and other health care providers.

* PLEASE NOTE: For any student considering reflexology certification, it is required to take Introduction to Integrative Reflexology® prior to all other coursework in the reflexology certification series (e.g. PTSD + Anxiety, Meridians, Plantar Fasciitis, etc). As all levels build on the foundational knowledge taught in Introduction to Integrative Reflexology® coursework, it is recommended (but not required) to be taken first for students not seeking certification. If a student has taken a minimum of 16 hours of Integrative Reflexology® from another school, they do not have to repeat Level 1. Students are required to submit a copy of their certificate.  They are then able to take the 2 day, 16 hour, Plantar Fasciitis class.

Introduction to Integrative Reflexology® requires one textbook, Integrative Reflexology®: Theory and Practice, which is recommended to be purchased prior to any Footbridge Reflexology class.

The Four Theories include:

Structural Alignment Theory
Zone Theory
Meridian Theory
Psychoneuroimmunology Theory
