Reflexology – The Roth Method
8 CEUs for massage therapists and 9 CEUs for NJ chiropractors. Chiropractors from states that accept PACE will earn 8 CEUs.* Open to all others non-credit.
This is a live in-person class, held at our school.
The bottom of your feet has more sensitive nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part of the body. Over 7,000 nerve endings in each foot are worked during a reflexology session.
The practice of foot work goes back several thousand years in a variety of cultures throughout history in different ages, and in geographical regions far removed from each other.
Reflexology is a method for activating the healing power of the body known as ”homeostasis.” This is the ongoing physiological process that tells all the body systems that everything is functioning at optimal levels. Reflexology affects homeostasis by way of thumb and finger pressures performed in a sequence to take the body into a state of complete relaxation.
During this great day of footwork, you will learn the actual method that will have your clients/patients leave with a state of well-being they have not experienced before. Dr. Roth will demonstrate and students will perform reflexology techniques on each other.
Dr. Roth has provided exceptional hands-on manual therapy since 1983. Trained in Swedish massage by a blind physical therapist, he went on to pursue several certifications in massage and bodywork. In1991 he became certified by Laura Norman and Associates in Reflexology.
Laura Norman regularly asked him to provide reflexology to the public attending several NYC health expos. His style of reflexology is both intense and pleasing. His creative pre- and post-relaxation techniques create an instant trust between himself and the client/patient.
What Students Should Bring: It is suggested that the participant bring two pillows and a good quality unscented massage lotion or cream. Everyone receives a reflexology manual with illustrations created by Dr. Roth.
