Hand reflexology. Should I do a course?

Dear oldiebutgoodie

It depends how you learn best whether to do a 'hands on' course or whether to learn from books but it is well worth doing.

I use hand reflexology alot it's amazing for 'first aid', taster sessions, self treatment, children and showing people basic routines they can do on themselves and of course if someone has an injured foot and you can't work on that.

I worked on a colleages hand outside the x-ray department at the hospital when she broke her foot - she was amazed at how little pain she felt and how calm she was.

Oldiebutgoody,

I recommend London School of Reflexology's one day hand reflexology course run by Louise Keet. I learnt reflexology with Louise and we covered hands during the course.

It also depends how much you feel you may use it. Take a look at some books and you'll see how much the hand reflects the feet and that reflex points are in a very similar position, however the areas are smaller and don't require as much stimulation. If after looking through some books, you still feel you would like to know much then go on a one day course.

Hope this helps.

The only problem with that suggestion is that Oldiebutgoody is in Rotherham 🙂

Google 'Hand reflexology' and CPD and you should hopefully be able to find a list of accredited 1 day courses nearer to you.

Thanks everyone

Hiya. Thanks to you all, your answers are really helpful. One of the things I was thinking about was offering hand reflexology to residents of care homes as it is something that can be done in a short space of time without the client having to remove tights/socks etc. I guess it would almost be like a 'taster' session for them. I would be interested to hear if any of you have done this at any time and if it was well received.
