VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology – Starting October, 2022

Reflexology Training course in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Students attend our college from Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Bath, Bristol, Birmingham and Oxfordshire.

Train to become a professionally qualified Reflexologist on our accredited Reflexology Training Course in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Reflexology is an amazing complementary therapy.  A reflexologist uses their hands to massage the feet and then put pressure on numerous reflex areas to balance the body.  Reflexology is a great stress-reliever and is popular with people looking for a way to manage their busy lifestyles. Reflexology is a very popular treatment with clients as many people notice a positive effect after receiving treatments.

We love the Holistic industry and take our standards very seriously.  We believe that if we train future reflexologists to a high standard, the treatment will be respected by clients and will be more recognised in the healthcare industry.  The 100 case study treatments you need to provide and the anatomy and physiology work that you complete at College, as well as at home, takes time and we like all our prospective students to understand that this work may require up to 10 hours home study per week. 

On this VTCT-Accredited Reflexology Course we teach you:

  • how to massage the feet, creating a relaxing and therapeutic experience, used at the beginning and end of every treatment
  • how to use your thumbs and fingers to ‘walk’ over the feet, in order to stimulate the nerves in the body
  • how to read the feet and to interpret different sensations
  • about the philosophies and theories of reflexology
  • how to meet the expectations of a professional body and becoming a professional therapist
  • how to read a foot map and make the information relevant
