Foot Reflexology Massage Certificate Course for Beginners

Now, it's important that you prepare the feet properly before you massage them

You will feel how amazing even just the warm up strokes feel.

DIAPHRAGM

The diaphragm is the major breathing muscle. Just as the diaphragm stretches across the torso, the diaphragm reflex stretches across the foot. The main point of this reflex is located below the third toe. Massage the diaphragm reflex with the thumbs using effleurage motions. As the guest inhales, move the thumbs from the center point out. As the guest exhales, move thumbs to meet at the center point of the diaphragm reflex. Then do thumb presses and finish again with glides as you did before.

The spinal reflexes are located along the inside arch of the foot. If you feel along the back of your neck and upper shoulders, the most noticeable bony protrusion is the spinous process of cervical vertebrae number 7 (C7). The area that protrudes the most on the foot is the medial base of the proximal phalanx of the big toe. This is the reflex for C7. The spine has four natural curves—cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. The inside arch of the foot has four curves that relate reflexively to the spinal curves.

Now we are going to work from the shoulder line all the way down to the heel which the at the pelvic line.
