Itec reflexology

Hi,

I am also studying ITEC reflexology and the routine we have been given is the one used by our lecturer, and it is;

Greeting the feet (using various effleurage, rotation and stretching moves)
Thumb walking down the spine, thumb walk up the spine
Work the toes using thumb and index finger
Index finger pressure in between each toe (pivot pressure)
Thumb walk medial to lateral from toes down
Thumb walk 5 vertical zones lateral to medial
Thumb walk in direction of colon
Index finger channels in between toes on top of foot - followed by thumb draining
Thumb walk fallopian tube area finger kneading ovaries x 3
Thumb/finger walk sciatic nerve x 3
Solar plexus pressure to finish

Hope this helps a bit, if you need any of the moves explained further, just ask and i'll do my best!

Thanks for that Pamela
Ours starts like yours but is very untidy,even found out from research that it's written wrong!!!
I've tried to rewrite it myself but it's very hard to make any sense of it!!
I was just curious to see how other colleges do they're routine
Thanks once again Pamela

I have not found an ITEC laid down routine anywhere, it seems that schools/colleges devise these themselves to cover what will be required in the exam and for future practice. The ITEC syllabus lays down what the student should be able to demonstrate, including the techniques of thumbwalking, finger rolling, pivoting on a point, hook in/back up etc. The routines mentioned here seem rather sketchy, we have learned to pinpoint the pituitary, thymus, gall bladder, adrenals, kidneys, bladder, ileocaecal valve, splenic flexure, sigmoid flexure, etc etc, so make sure that all the anatomy of the reflexes is covered in your routine. The course text book is quite limited, and it is worthwhile taking a look at other books for further clarification of the reflexes and where they are located.

Thanks Andrea. I've bought the reflexology Bible by Louise Keet which is very useful!!
