Reflexologist
A reflexologist is a healthcare professional who applies a holistic approach to health by applying pressure to specific areas of the body. By applying pressure to the feet, hands and ears, this type of therapist is able to identify areas of stress and tension in the body and apply techniques to relieve them.
Reflexology is often used in combination with massage to provide a more effective therapy session.
Focused on the person's overall well-being, reflexologists work to restore the balance of the body and promote natural healing. By relieving stress and providing relaxation, this type of therapy can help improve overall health and well-being.
Reflexologists aim to reduce stress, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Circulation and the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells improve when the body is in a state of relaxation.
Reflexologists, in accordance with the holistic approach to healing, combine this special treatment with advice on nutrition, exercise and positive thinking.
Reflexology is not considered a substitute for medical treatment, but a complementary maintenance therapy.
Reflexology is a personally satisfying career and is a form of treatment that has become popular in recent times, but the material rewards are not good. Many holistic medicine practitioners practice reflexology alongside other forms of natural healing, such as osteopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic or aromatherapy. A starting reflexologist needs to open a private practice or join an existing practice.
