BASIC COURSE PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS

In order to receive a certificate for each of our three Basic Courses, you are required to perform and document forty practice reflexology sessions on adults, using the techniques and format that are presented in the course. Within the forty sessions there should be at least eight different people worked on, and, at least eight sessions performed on one person. Part of the requirement is for you to make all the necessary arrangements for each of the sessions.

     The documentation required is: one “Reflexology Health Record” completed for each recipient of reflexology before their first reflexology session. Carry this out as an interview in which you record answers to all of the questions as succinctly and fully as possible. Information obtained is used, in part, to determine which reflex areas need to be focused on. This is then recorded at the bottom of the “Reflexology Session Record” as a reminder for you during the session.

      Second, complete one “Foot/Hand/Ear Inspection Record” for each recipient of reflexology before their first session. Use a pencil and update this record if there are any changes in subsequent sessions.

      Third, one “Reflexology Session Record” is to be completed for each and every reflexology session performed. On the chart, mark sensitive reflex areas with X X X X̓ s; mark painful reflex areas (‘owies̓) with √√√√’s. Do not write comments on the “Reflexology Session Record”.

      Before each subsequent reflexology session, 1). enquire as to the recipient’s experience of the previous session, especially any unpleasant effects after the session, and, 2). enquire as to the recipient’s health and circumstances since the previous session, and, 3). ask if there are any current aches or pains.

 Date and enter any relevant information or comments on the back of the Reflexology Health Record.
