For the 4th time Orthopedic Reflexology training will be offered to international students in Athens Greece.
This time we are taking the date venue to spring 6th-8th May, Athens is beautifull then and the weather is warm with sunshine for some of you it might be considered the beginning of summer.
It is a great oppurtunity to combine a vacation in Greece with one of the most popular and successfull reflexology trainings offered at the moment.
The adress of the venue will be Pandrosou 31 Palaio Faliro area, (the school where I teach at Natural Health Science www.nhs.gr) very near to the Athens riviera and to the center of Athens.

ORTHOPEDIC REFLEXOLOGY
Orthopedic Reflexology is about utilizing the experience one has obtained in discriminating the reflex areas or the condition of the foot's tissues and then applying the correct technique, the proper amount of pressure for the appropriate amount of time, to achieve the "medium" as taught by Hippocrates in order for nature to heal. Orthopedic Reflexology practitioners use the condition of the tissues of the feet as a guide. Anatomical charts to understand the reflexes, zones, meridians and fascia, as well as to effectively manipulate the feet.
Orthopedic Reflexology will teach the theory and practical approaches of Hippocrates and Galens guide on the effects of "rubbing" – Anatripsis; the four meridians of Hippocrates, Orthopedic reflexology maps, understanding pain and a deeper exploration of the history and origin of reflexology and the "science" behind it. In Orthopedic Reflexology we also learn how to assist many local foot problems such as halux valgus and hammer toes, which in turn affects and helps treat disorders of the myoskeletal system and the internal organs.
Orthopedic Reflexology is based on the teachings of Hippocrates, the father of western medicine.This regards the art of rubbing - Anatripsis. Hippocrates wrote small concise passages on rubbing which he considered easy to learn and apply. Scattered in the Hippocratic corpus many references to rubbing (and of the feet) can be found.
During this 3 day instructive course you will be taught the anatomy of the feet which will include the four muscle layers, connective tissue e.g plantar fascia and retinaculum, the location of the bones of the feet and the route of the tendons and peripheral nerves entering the feet. Participants will be taught how to effectively treat all these structures, and make correlations within their existing knowledge and integrate the new techniques into their own existing practice.
The basis of the training is learning the theoretical and practical approaches of Hippocrates and Galen on the effects of "rubbing" – Anatripsis, as they have been handed down to us from their original books. Hippocrates describes in detail four main “veins” that are considered the forefather of the Chinese meridians. The Hippocratic veins will be outlined theoretically in detail, and approached practically until the knee and elbow respectively.
During the course attention is given to understanding modern concepts of pain and the “science” behind Reflexology and utilizing this knowledge in our every day work. The history and origin of reflexology is reviewed.
Upon completion of training in Orthopedic Reflexology participants will have the capacity to alleviate complementary to standard care of local foot problems such as hallux valgus and hammer toes, which in turn reflexively affect and help treat disorders found in other parts of the body.
Please note - Orthopedic reflexology is open to all, not only reflexologists. Therapists who are new to working the feet will notice the differences, and body workers can integrate the techniques learnt immediately into their practice.
In short...
- if you ever wanted to specialize in the lower limbs (anatomy physiology),
- if you ever wondered why what you already do with Reflexology is helpful,
- if you wonder why you are NOT helping,
- if you ever wanted to be introduced to the sphere of Greek medicine
This course is for you!
The majority of the course is focused on the practical applications of the Orthopedic Reflexology techniques. There are many structures in our feet and each one requires a unique technique.

Η Ρεφλεξολογία θα μπορούσε να είναι ένα μελλοντικό επάγγελμα των νυν εγκλείστων καθώς το επάγγελμα του ρεφλεξολόγου είναι ανοιχτό και δεν χρειάζεται μεγάλη οικονομική επένδυση για να ξεκινήσει κανείς. Τελικά δεν φροντίζουμε μόνο να απασχολήσουμε τους κρατούμενους, να τους δώσουμε γνώσεις και δυνατότητα για ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων αλλά προ παντός μέσω των μαθημάτων και των εργαστηρίων ενδιαφερόμαστε για τη μελλοντική επανένταξή τους, που λόγω της οικονομικής κρίσης είναι μια δύσκολη ιστορία.
Από αναζήτηση διεθνώς βρήκαμε ότι από το 2007, όπως γράφει η Roslina Mohamad, στη Μαλαισία στο Kuantan Penor Prison έκαναν μαθήματα ρεφλεξολογίας στους έγκλειστους τα οποία διαρκούσαν δύο εβδομάδες. Εμείς προγραμματίζουμε τα μαθήματα να διαρκέσουν ενάμιση χρόνο, ώστε οι κρατούμενοι να μαθαίνουν αυτήν τη θεραπευτική τέχνη και σε συνδυασμό με την τεχνογνωσία που θα αποκτήσουν για τις Κοιν.Σ.Επ (Κοινωνική Συνεταιριστική Επιχείρηση) να μπορέσουν να επανενταχτούν δημιουργώντας μεταξύ τους και μαζί με άλλους μια δική τους δουλειά.

We have complimentary therapies too so aroma therapy, massage, reflexology, facials and a few others including reiki.’ Tina says the Wessex Cancer Trust centre is about providing a holistic approach for people with cancer and dealing with the mental side affects of a diagnosis. For many, it is this they need help with once their treatment has come to an end. Tina adds: ‘The hospital meets the clinical needs but we meet the mental and wellbeing needs.

I remember him before the facebook era, when there were just google groups. Very helpfull and passionate reflexologist.
Just at the moment when most are shouting against the pseudosciences , the Official College of Nursing of Barcelona launches a complete program of " natural and complementary workshops " for health personnel. Fourteen courses that aim to bring attendees to practices such as reiki, reflexotherapy or floral therapy for 9 months.

"We found that adaptive learning with the hand affects cerebellar–motor cortex connectivity, not only for the trained hand, but also for an untrained leg muscle, an effect likely related to intereffector transfer of learning."

Simply put, regional interdependence is the concept that seemingly unrelated impairments in a remote anatomical region may contribute to, or be associated with, the patient’s primary complaint. Current research has shown that regional interdependence can be affected not only by other regions in the musculoskeletal system but impairements from varying body systems and regions. It is important to remember, that regional interdependence is different than referred pain.
