The field of natural therapies is an emerging field of health sciences, which is being incorporated gradually and complementarily to traditional health structures. But in order to be able to respond to this emerging need, it is essential to have an adequate specialization”

The multiplicity of names used to refer to Natural Therapies has led to the existence of different definitions and classifications. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has proposed a pragmatic classification of natural therapies into five areas, according to which Foot Reflexology would fall into the area of manipulative and body-based practices, which emphasize the manipulation or movement of one or more parts of the body under the fundamental belief that all body systems work together in an integrated manner and, therefore, disorders in one system can affect the functioning in other parts of the body. In the case of Foot Reflexology, reflex points located on the feet are stimulated through the application of pressure with the aim of obtaining beneficial reactive effects on other organs and body functions. 

This Postgraduate certificate in Foot Reflexology is a complete training program, updated based on the latest scientific evidence and the experience of recognized professionals in the field of Natural Therapies, which establishes the basis and justification of Foot Reflexology and manual techniques in Foot Reflexology treatment.

Through PDF and multimedia information, videos, clinical cases and workshops, specialists will be able to familiarize themselves at home with the latest advances and controversial issues of daily life.
