Overview: Polarity Reflexology is an energy-based modality that is founded on the theories and principles of Polarity Therapy.

Polarity Reflexology (PR) utilizes a variety of techniques to restore balance to the entire body through working on the feet. Polarity Reflexology teaches the specific elemental (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth) reflex points on the feet and their correlation to specific organs, body systems, energetic systems, and energy currents found in and around the body.

Polarity Reflexology is the perfect fusion between working with both the physical and the energetic bodies.

Students will learn the inner connection of the body, to assess where tension is being held in the body, specific reflexology techniques that will balance the elements and promote relaxation, foot exercises, body mechanics, and how to successfully work with clients.

Learn how to positively impact the whole body through working on the feet!
