Thai Foot Massage (also known as Thai Reflexology) is much more than a fancy foot rub! In addition to being a relaxing and energizing massage of the feet and lower legs, it delivers a form of light acupressure that impacts the entire body.
Things like stress and environmental toxins can reduce, inhibit or completely block the natural flow of energy along meridian lines. Inhibited energy flow contributes to illness and dis-ease.
What makes Thai Foot Reflexology different from that of Traditional Foot Reflexology is the unique use of the re-useable wooden tool - this greatly helps to decrease stress on thumbs and other joints while performing the treatment on clients.
Stimulate 58-Reflex Zones, using a wooden massage tool, along with using flat knuckle slides on the plantar, medial & lateral sides of the foot, as well as the toes. This is combined with thumb slides on the dorsal surface of the foot.
Work on the Reflex Zones will be combined with 31-cream based massage techniques using hands, palms and fingers to relax lower legs and massage feet & ankles.
Learn how to perform a 60-min. Traditional Thai Foot Reflexology & Massage treatment in a step-by-step manner, using a picture workbook.
This treatment may be performed on a massage table, in a chair, or bed or on the floor mat.
Course Fees Inclusive of:
24 Hours Class Time + 6 Hours Supervised Practice Time 1 x Workbook
1 Day Review and exam with Certificate recognized by Natural Health Practitioners of Canada.
