Thai Reflexology
Description:
Thai foot reflexology is a marriage between the ancient healing arts of reflexology, Chinese tuina, Japanese shiatsu and Indian Ayurvedic yoga. Thai reflexology is easy and fun to learn and incorporate into your existing practice. Working with the feet, lower legs and knees, this 2000 year old, highly reputed session frees up blocked energy within the body’s many sen lines (Thai- based meridians) to produce a deep and unique feeling of balance, relaxation and well-being.
Unlike conventional western reflexology, Thai reflexology takes a relatively short time to learn. This is because the session follows a protocol, rather than relying on extensive education and practice to create an effective session.
In this class you will learn:
★ the history and philosophy behind Thai foot reflexology
★ how to give a gentle 60-minute traditional Thai reflexology session
★ the names and locations of the 6 major sen lines located in the feet & lower legs
★ the body systems and health issues governed by the sen lines
★ placement of conventional reflexology points along the sen lines
★ the difference between Thai reflexology and conventional western reflexology
★ how to incorporate hydrotherapy in your Thai reflexology session
★ how to choose efficacious lubricants for a Thai reflexology session
★ how to prepare and care for your Thai foot stick.
You will be given an illustrated manual, Thai foot stick and a bottle of organic Thai oil.
Preparation:
Wear clothes that allow access to your lower legs and knees, and slip-on shoes that you can remove quickly and easily. Please be familiar with the bones of the lower legs and feet.

In Chinese medicine, the endocrine system is referred to as the Wheel of Life, since it controls homeostasis in the body, and is closely aligned with the seven major chakra wheels and nerve plexuses. Together with the nervous system, it controls communication in the body; the nervous system presiding over the immediate transmission of information and the endocrines the slower and longer lasting messengers of truth.
Because the endocrines are deeply embedded in the body, they cannot be palpated through massage; however, they can be influenced through reflexology. They are profoundly affected by the subtle movement of the chakras and the five Chinese elements of wood, fire, water, metal, and earth.
You will leave this workshop with the ability to:
★ create and deliver a customized foot and/or hand reflexology session to support clients with endocrine, element and chakra imbalances.
★ determine your clients’ imbalances within the seven major chakras, the five Chinese elements and seven endocrine glands.
★ practice two important self-care techniques to add into your clinical day to open and protect your own wheel of life.
In this experiential workshop you will learn:
★ why endocrine reflexes and chakra points require different hands-on approaches
★ the location of the endocrine glands in the body, the hormones they produce and for what purpose
★ to locate and palpate the endocrine reflexes in the feet and hands
★ pathologies of the endocrine system and how to create customized reflexology sessions for each
★ how your clients’ emotions reveal which element is out of balance
★ which organs and systems each of the five Chinese elements govern
★ the nourishing and controlling cycles of the elements
★ to locate the seven chakras in the body, and the two primary chakras on the hands and the feet.
You will be given a manual and client forms to use in your own clinical practice.
