Course Details
Diploma in Reflexology Therapy (D.R.T.) is a comprehensive professional course designed to teach the scientific and therapeutic principles of Reflexology Massage.
Reflexology is a highly effective natural therapy based on applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet and palms. These reflex points are connected to different organs and body systems through energy pathways (zones).
When the body experiences illness, stress, or imbalance, these energy channels may become blocked, leading to discomfort or reduced vitality. Reflexology Therapy aims to release these blockages, allowing natural energy to flow freely, improving circulation, restoring balance, and supporting the body’s self-healing mechanism.
This course provides in-depth knowledge of foot reflexology, palm reflexology, energy meridians, pressure techniques, mapping charts, and professional therapeutic application, making it ideal for students, wellness practitioners, therapists, and natural healthcare professionals.
