The course in Nerve-Reflexology is divided into 3 levels, and will be presented in English.

The first two levels deal with a specific region of the body, with the somato-motoric structures as well as the autonomous-vegetative structures. Each level also pays attention to the necessary theoretical knowledge to handle Nerve-Reflexology in an efficient way. Theory is always followed by practical applications, so as to guarantee a continuous interaction between theory and practice. Theory and practice each stand for 50% of the course material.

The third level will deal with the high cervical and cranial region as well as with a repetition and integration of the body regions into an overall treatment concept.

 

Anthony Porter, Founder/director of Advanced Reflexology Training ART (U.K).

"Nerve Reflexology completes our understanding of reflexology. It connects the classic foot reflexes to the nervous system.I strongly recommend professional reflexologists to attend these seminars."

Each Level will take 3 days of 6 hours,  which equals an overall duration of 54 hours. This equates to 108 Association of Reflexologists CPD points.

Nerve Reflexology (NR) - Repertoire

  1. Learn 400 very precise nerve reflex points on the bones of the feet.
  2. Every reflex has a direct influence on one single nerve or a nerve structure.
  3. Press nerve reflex point, hold until the pain has gone and see and feel the immediate results.
  4. Discover the anatomy and function of the peripheral, central and autonomous nervous system.
  5. Learn to understand the different kinds of pain and how the nerves are modulating these pains.
  6. Introduce Nerve Reflexology to target parts of the nervous system for maximum relief of pain.
  7. Think within a medical clinical reasoning system but still use an amazing holistic approach.
  8. Combine NR with foot and hand reflexology or with massage/manipulative therapies.

This training is available for

  1. All reflexologists and zone therapists (qualified in foot, hand or ear reflexology)

  2. Qualified manual therapists: physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, shiatsu therapists, sports masseurs, massage therapists. aromatherapists, nurses… For this group, preliminary knowledge of foot reflexology is not necessary.

 

Level 1. The lumbar and sacral region including the lower abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs.  

The following subjects will be dealt with:

A: Theory:

functional aspects in the organisation of the nervous system,
functional division of the dorsal horn,
primary and secondary pain,
lumbar, plexus, sacral plexus, pudendal plexus,
organisation of the autosympathetic and parasympathetic system in this region,
clinical reasoning in history taking and examination

B: Practice:

nerve reflex points for the lumbar and sacral spine
nerve reflex points for the lumbar, sacral and pudendal plexus
nerve reflex points for the lumbar-sacral autosympathetic sysytem
nerve reflex points for prevertebral ganglia
nerve reflex points for the innervation of the intestines and the reproductive organs
nerve reflex points for kidneys and bladder
history taking and basic examination of the lumbar and sacral spine
practical training in clinical reasoning
drawing up a holistic treatment scheme with integration of the Nerve-Reflexology into conventional foot reflexology

Level 2. The lower cervical and thoracic region, including the upper abdomen and thoracic organs and upper limbs.

A: Theory:

thoracic and brachial plexus
orthosympathetically maintained pain
the cranial-cervical parasympathetic system
structure of the solar plexus,
clinical reasoning in history taking and examination.

B: Practice:

nerve reflex points for the thoracic and lower cervical spine
nerve reflex points for the thoracic and brachial plexus
nerve reflex points for pre-vertebral ganglia
nerve reflex points for the thoracic and higher abdomen organs
history taking and basic examination of the lower cervical and thoracic spine
practice in clinical reasoning
integration of nerve reflex therapy into conventional foot reflexology.

Level 3. The high cervical and cranial region, including the neuro-endocrine system. Integration of complete training.

A: Theory:

cervical plexus
functions of the medula-pons-thalamus-limbic system ….
organisation of the neuro-endocrine system in relation to auto-immunity
central pain

B: Practice:

nerve reflex points for the high cervical spine
nerve reflex points for the cervical plexus
nerve reflex points for the brainstem and cortex
nerve reflex points for the trigeminal nerve
nerve reflex points for eyes, ears and teeth
nerve reflex points for the neuro-endocrine organs
attention for central pain: M.S., Parkinson….
attention for chronic auto-immunity diseases, e.g. M.E., Lupus, Arthritis, …
integration of the three seminars: holistic treatment
discussion of cases

Notice.

The indicated subject matter may change. The lecturer will adapt to the progress of the participants and elements may be moved from one Level to another.
