This guide is to be considered a work in progress, and as such, if you have any suggestions for any other topics to be included in here, please email us at the following email address [email protected]. Thank-you

Course Overview Congratulations on your decision to join us. Whether you are working towards the Progressive Reflexology Diploma or simply want to expand your knowledge of the world of Reflexology – you are in the right place.

The Universal College of Reflexology has dedicated itself to delivering world class innovative training programs, and we are delighted that you have chosen our college to assist you in achieving your educational goals.

Your user name (your first and last name) and your chosen password give you access to TheReflexologyZone.com, where your monthly courses will be available to you via the internet on a computer. We suggest that you print the manual and handouts for each course and store them in a binder for ease of reference.

The Reflexology Zone is a monthly program with a new course being delivered every 4 weeks for one year – a total of 12 courses.

These courses have all been taught in person at the Universal College of Reflexology over a period of 20 years. The information has been refined and honed, with feedback from hundreds of students to include the simplest and most elegant format of efficient practice for each course.

Every month there is a new course, each building on the previous month’s content. The curriculum is designed to give a comprehensive, well rounded Reflexology education, to be able to individually tailor each Reflexology sessions, especially to your unique client’s needs.

Work according to your pace. If it takes a little longer to complete one particular course, just know the next one will be there waiting for you when you are ready. Consume each month’s content thoroughly before moving onto the next one. The information in each course builds on the previous one.

Each course will contain support material, which depending on the topic; will include some or all of the following: manual, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, teleseminars, audio (MP3) and videos demonstrating the techniques. The student has the choice at the end of each monthly course to complete a short timed quiz to earn certification for that month’s subject.

Manuals and handouts will be delivered in a PDF (Portable Document Format). A free program called Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view all PDF files. Details on how to access this free software is included in this guide. You will need a free Flash plug in to access the online quizzes and videos, and again full information on how to access and install this software is included further on in this guide.

Certificates can be earned for each individual monthly course in addition to the full Progressive Reflexology Diploma, available to students who successfully complete all 12 courses. To attain this monthly certificate an on-line quiz must be passed.

To confirm, students have three options:

1) Simply enjoy the monthly course content for personal professional development;

2) Choose individual course certification only;

3) Successfully complete all 12 monthly quizzes, final theory exam and practicum, to earn the Progressive Reflexology Diploma.

Please note that the Progressive Reflexology Diploma is a cumulative program. The course will build each month on the last one. Should you cancel out of the program to re-enrol at a later stage, you will start again at month one.



There is a monthly fee of $97, and when this fee is received, the next month’s course will be automatically released. This will occur on a 30 day cycle.

If for any reason payment is not processed, then the course material will not be released. The system is set for three (3) rebill attempts. If no payment is received, the user account will remain static. To re-enroll into the program, you will start at month one.

Manuals and handouts will be delivered in a PDF (Portable Document Format). A free program called Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view all PDF files. Details on how to access this free software is included in this guide.



Month 1 – European Reflexology

Advanced techniques such as these have been taught and used in Europe for many years. Did you know that some European schools of Reflexology require up to 2,000 hours of study?

If you only have basic training, now is the time to take the next Step in Reflexology! It will take your Reflexology practice to a whole new level. All those questions that you have been wondering about since your training, or observations you have made in your reflexology will be answered and MORE!

Find out how safe Reflexology is! Have there ever been any cases of Reflexology harming someone? What are the facts?

What does that grainy/sandy sensation under the skin mean? What is a Healing Crisis? Why do they occur? Discover how to predict when a healing crisis will result from your Reflexology Session.

Discover Hering’s Law of Cure discovered by Dr Constantine Hering MD (1800—1880) known as the “Father of American Homeopathy”, and how it works! It is a very specific healing process that the body always follows.

Did you know there is an exact process of elimination of toxins from the body? Once you know this, you can tailor your Reflexology sessions to get the maximum healing in the shortest amount of time.

Find out exactly what the various textures, sensations and land markings on the feet can tell you, and how you can turn that information into a dramatically more effective Reflexology Session.

Thumb & Finger walking are effective, but they have their limits! Discover 10 more techniques for working the feet and how lubrication can save your aching thumbs, and maximize results.

Discover how to give a powerful focused 15 minute Reflexology session.



Month 2 – Digestion and Life Elvis Presley died “straining at the stool.” Digestive conditions are almost at epidemic proportions. If these conditions can kill a superstar what can they do for the ordinary man and women in the street?

Almost without exception, all Reflexology clients have some sort of “condition” relating to their digestive system. Only when this situation was dealt with – can you deal with their other health issues.

Disease only exists in an acidic environment. You will learn how to determine the acid / alkaline balance in the body, with a simple test that can show what challenges the body is facing. Knowing this information will dramatically improve the effectiveness of your Reflexology work and practice.

You will get a whole new understanding of the often repeated phrase “all disease starts in the Colon”.

Some conditions of the Digestive System that respond well to Reflexology are:

Constipation Diarrhea Hemorrhoids Irritable Bowel Syndrome Gallstones Duodenal Ulcer Peptic Ulcer Flatulence Colitis

All Reflexologists already know about the Foot & Hand Reflexology maps, some also know of Ear Reflexology, but do you know that there is also a Reflexology Map of the Colon or Large Intestine? It has a full set of organ reflex points reflected on this one part of the body.

Knowing how to “fine tune” your Reflexology session using this Colon Reflex Point Chart, will transform your results.

This course gives vital information on parasitic infections of the digestive system. Unless you understand and know the symptoms of such infections, you can create even more problems doing basic Reflexology.



Month 3 – Allergy Relief An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from all types of allergies (1 in 5 Americans) including indoor/outdoor, food & drug, latex, insect, skin and eye allergies. Allergy prevalence overall has been increasing since the early 1980s across all age, sex and racial groups.

Allergy is the 5th leading chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages, and the 3rd most common chronic disease among children under 18 years old.

Allergies are acute immune system responses to a particular antigen, or foreign agent. There are four types of antigens: those you inhale (dust, pollen, dander, feathers), those you ingest (particularly chocolate, strawberries, milk, eggs, shellfish, peanuts, tomatoes and citrus fruits), those that are injected (insect or jellyfish venom), and those you make physical contact with (poison ivy or oak, cosmetics, detergents, fabrics or dyes).

Did you know that allergy symptoms can be alleviated by learning simple reflexology protocols?

A full and complete understanding of what an allergy is and how and why it strikes certain people is key to being an effective Reflexologist.

Learn the many hidden, yet powerful advanced reflexology points for allergy symptom relief. Discovering where they are and how to work them (thumb walking alone is not sufficient at this advanced level!) is vital to creating effective healing responses in the body.



Month 4 – Facial Reflexology Facial Reflexology is a modern adaptation of traditional Reflexology. The techniques used are a combination of zone therapy, oriental medicine and the stimulation of neurological points. Working manually on specific points and zones in the face produces a profound sense of relaxation.

Facial reflexology is a combination of techniques, working directly with the central nervous system and targeting specific points to regulate its complete function. By working precise points in the face the stimulation creates an impulse which is transmitted to the brain.

Stimulation also encourages the release of serotonin, a chemical that helps maintain a feeling of contentment, and which controls sleep, calms anxiety, and relieves depression. Insufficient levels of serotonin are believed to be the cause of depression and can result in apathy, fear, feeling worthless, lethargy and fatigue. Therefore Face Reflexology achieves fast and effective results, as well as achieving a profound state of relaxation and well-being.

Face Reflexology is a powerful treatment proven to be effective for numerous conditions whether they are acute, chronic or minor. Its success lies in stimulating specific points via the central nervous system, addressing both the cause and symptom. Like many other complementary therapies. Face Reflexology works with the whole, treating you on every level: emotionally, mentally and physically. This treatment is deeply relaxing.



Month 5 – Banishing Back Pain

Eighty percent of Americans suffer from back pain at some point in their lives, and spend $50 billion each year on low back pain.

Back Pain is the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work. Back pain is the second most common neurological ailment in the United States — only headaches are more common.

It costs countries such as Great Britain more than thirty million lost working days each year. The pain causes irritation to major nerves, and has a debilitating effect not only on the body but also on the mind, causing despair, misery and even suicide.

As mentioned above almost everyone will experience back pain at some point in his life. This generally occurs between the ages of 30 and 50 and affects males and females alike.

Since the 1980’s, I have made observations through clinical experience that have shown clients respond to different forms of reflex stimulus, which can alleviate severe and disabling pain associated with low back pain.

I will share the new and surprising new reflex points that I have used to great effect over the years.

If you want a thriving and successful Reflexology practice you must learn these specific techniques and tips and hints from a Reflexology professional who have spent over 25 years honing my skills.

Why not become a Specialist in alleviating Back Pain – you will have a thriving practice built around specializing in taking care of back pain.



Month 6 – Dealing with Diabetes The bad news … currently 2.6% of the U.S. population, or 5.5 million Americans, are known to have diabetes mellitus; however, the disease remains undiagnosed in about the same number, i.e., another 5.5 million Americans have the disease but are unaware of it or will develop the disease during their lifetime. Over 600,000 new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each year.

Officially, 34,000 deaths each year are attributed to diabetes, placing diabetes as the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. But, in actuality, approximately 320,000 individuals with diabetes die each year, and diabetes is a significant contributing factor in a large number of these deaths. Seventy-six percent of individuals with diabetes die from vascular disease (cardiovascular disease, stroke).

Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of adult blindness in the U.S. Approximately 5000 individuals with diabetes become blind each year.

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis in the U.S. Other than accidents, diabetes is the leading cause of amputations of legs or feet in the U.S. Fifty percent of all amputations in the U.S. are performed on individuals with diabetes.

Heart attacks are 2.5 times more likely in individuals with diabetes. Strokes are 5 times more common. Diabetes complicates pregnancy: congenital anomalies are twice as prevalent in babies born to diabetic mothers.

The good news is that studies and research in China have shown that Reflexology is an effective treatment for type II diabetes mellitus.

Separate research shows that comparing the control group with a group receiving Reflexology The comparison between the two groups shows that the total effective rate in the treatment group versus the control group was 98% higher – truly remarkable results.



Month 7 – Reading the Feet Pedology or Foot Reading is the understanding of dis-ease by means of close observation of the feet. The ever-changing characteristics of feet provide valuable clues as to inner needs and reflect potential for personal development and ultimate fulfillment, not to mention a very clear and simple reflection of the physical health of your body.

There is so much that we can learn about ourselves via our feet. These are hidden treasure troves of information when we know where to look!

Foot Reading is divided into two distinct areas. Firstly, the foot gives a very detailed snapshot of a person’s physical health. Corns, calluses, bunions, warts, hot or cold spots are signals of stress for the foot and the whole body. Understanding these messages allows for early detection of dis-ease, and gives the Reflexologist a window of opportunity for preventative measures. As well as showing what is currently happening in the body, the marks of life’s experiences can also be reflected on feet long before anything occurs in the physical body. What they indicate, why they appeared and what you can do about these stress cues is the subject of this month’s fascinating course.

Secondly, you can understand a person’s personality, or what they think about themselves, by the shape and size of their toes and feet. For example, anyone who has a long second toe has a great capacity to feel and sense things, they are intuitive and check their how they feel about things all the time. And people who have an extremely long big toe are very intelligent and like to think things through.

In this month’s course, you will learn both about how to decipher to feet’s secret messages about the body’s physical health, and also how to learn about the personality traits by looking at the feet.

Foot Reading is an amazing tool for any Reflexologist to have in their library of knowledge.



Month 8 – Natural Thyroid Balancing Your thyroid gland tells every cell in your body the rate at which it should function. Having too little hormone, called hypothyroidism, puts you into a dragging slowdown. This is a problem for more than 10 million Americans-of whom 8 million don't know it. Having too much hormone, called hyperthyroidism, races your engine, so you feel all revved up-as if you were burning out. This problem affects some 4.5 million Americans, but at least 600,000 of them have yet to be diagnosed.

Common problems with an underactive thyroid are:

Feeling tired and listless and chilly Dry skin, hair loss Constipation Depression Loss of interest in sex, erectile dysfunction for men Weight gain due to fluid retention

Problems with an overactive thyroid are:

Feeling too hot when others are comfortable Feeling nervous and irritable Sweating more than you used to Fingernails growing faster Muscle weakness, especially thighs and upper arms Faster heart rate, sometimes irregular rhythms and an erratic pulse More frequent and looser bowel movements For men, loss of interest in sex, erectile dysfunction Eyes that appear larger than normal

Just think back. How many of your friends, family members or clients have had these symptoms?

Reflexology has proven over the years to be an extremely effective form of treatment for thyroid disorders, and the basic thyroid points learned in most level 1 Reflexology courses are effective, however when combined with the advanced Reflexology techniques - some results have proved outstanding in their quickness and effectiveness. This enlightening tour of these reflexes will give you the most effective ways of working them



Month 9 – Maternity Reflexology Pregnancy is not an illness – however it can cause problems which can distress the pregnant women. These can include sickness, nausea, constipation, increased frequency of passing urine, backache and sciatica. Reflexology can be used to keep a woman healthy during pregnancy and the treatment can also help with the development of a healthy baby.

Providing and receiving reflexology to maternity clients can be a wonderful experience for both parties.

Being involved with maternity client’s offers a unique opportunity to be involved in the evolution of a family, whilst the love, care, nurturing and healing offered with reflexology provides immeasurable benefits to all.

It must be stressed that great care must be taken with the treatment of a woman who is pregnant, particularly if there is a history of miscarriage, or during a first pregnancy. The “golden rule of reflexology” definitely applies here – if in doubt DON’T! Refer to a specialist.

This course serves as a useful starter point for working in this field. It is full of tips, hints and great information on pre-conceptual care (fertility and infertility) healthy pregnancy, labour, birthing and after birth care. A great body of knowledge to add to the skills of any professional Reflexologist!



Month 10 – Understanding the Body’s Messages

What does it mean when your nose is running? What is happening when you have a temperature? Is a cough always a bad thing? Can diarrhea actually be a good thing in certain circumstances?

Modern thinking would put most of these health occurrences in the “bad” category. However is this where a Reflexologist or Wholistic Healthcare Practitioner should place them? Could these physical occurrences actually be messengers from the body, trying to focus attention on certain issues?

Ever since the time of Hippocrates, academic medicine has been trying to convince patients that a symptom is more or less an accidental phenomenon whose cause is to be sought in the mechanical processes of the body.

Academic medicine carefully avoids interpreting the symptom, and so condemns both symptom and illness to mean nothing. Yet this deprives the signal of its true function – for in the absence of symptoms, the signals lose all significance.

When a symptom manifests itself in a person’s body, it draws attention to itself to a greater or lesser degree and thus interrupts, often quite abruptly, life’s former continuity. A symptom is a signal which directs our awareness, interest and energy to itself and in the process upsets the usual smooth flow of things. People hate to be disturbed, and so the battle against the symptom begins.

Illness is a human condition which indicates that the patient is no longer in order, or in harmony at the level of consciousness.

The symptom is a signal and a vehicle of information. The symptom has become a kind of teacher, helping us to understand that we have lost our wholeness. So to allow the teacher to teach, we need to have an understanding of the language of symptoms.

The purpose of this class is to achieve an understanding of the language of the body, its messages, it’s manifested symptoms and to not resist illness but to embrace it to create wholeness, health and harmony in everybody.



Month 11 – Meridian Reflexology Similar to Acupuncture and Shiatsu, Meridian Reflexology unblocks congestion in the Meridians (energy channels) to promote blood circulation in areas where energy has become stagnated. When congestion builds up in the body this can eventually lead to disease. After detailed consultation, the progression of disease along a meridian is often revealed - your current symptoms are often related to earlier illnesses. For example, a weakness in the spleen/pancreas meridian will manifest as thyroid problems, palpitations, cysts, IBS, food intolerances, digestive problems, prostate problems, hernia.

Thumb and finger pressure is applied to the six main meridians in the feet to stimulate the meridians which run through the internal organs in the body. The whole foot is worked as is, in turn, the entire body. Then all reflexes in the feet which correspond to the organs and glands are stimulated to improve the blood supply and promote the unblocking of nerve impulses.

With the use of Meridian charts depicting areas of weakness the presenting ailments can be then be greatly improved leading to a better quality of life. Meridian Reflexology can help:

headaches/migraines stress/tension muscle and joint pain depression tiredness, fatigue & ME insomnia and sleep disturbances to maintain the body in optimum shape a speedy recovery after bone breakages recovery after cancer treatment strengthening the body when a serious disease has been detected

Meridian Reflexology can provide:

physical, mental and emotional healing a strengthened immune system balance to the whole body increasing energy and vitality



Month 12 – Clinical European Reflexology in Your Practice As a Reflexologist, do you use the same Reflexology routine over and over with all your clients? Do you start out with some relaxation moves? Do you then work all the reflex points on one foot, then work all the reflex points on the other foot, and then may be return to sensitive areas, then finish off with relaxation moves? Do you do this with every client?

Do all your clients present with exactly the same conditions, stresses or dis-eases? If not, then what reasoning would you use to give them exactly the same treatment every time? How well is what you are doing, working for you?

This month's class is full of great tips, hints and Reflexology tidbits gathered over many years, plus serious case study scenarios which enable each student to put together all the information they have learned (in whatever modality).

Knowing how to do Reflexology (finger or thumb walking etc.,) is not enough to be a successful Professional Reflexologist.

The more specific you are with choosing the Reflexology points to work, the more specific you are with choosing the Reflexology points to work, the more specific and effective the body will be with the healing response.

Included in this month's course is a 90 page Comprehensive Reference Manual for all Reflexologists listing over 70 Conditions from Anxiety to Vertigo. Each condition is given a definition, signs and symptoms plus specific reflexes to work and additional holistic tips and hints to help your clients improve their health. A must for every Reflexologist.

Q. If I do fall behind, can I quit the program and start up at a later date.

A. The Progressive Reflexology Diploma is a cumulative program. The course will build each month on the last one. Should you cancel out of the program to re-enrol at a later stage, you will start again at month one. No exceptions.

Q. How much time will it take each month to complete the theory course material?

A. It is estimated that between 2 - 3 hours per week are required to complete the program, although this can be more or less depending on the amount of material published.

Q. How often do I need to practice?

A. It is recommended that practical skills are practiced as often as possible, daily would be ideal, but at least every week will keep you on track.

Q. Are all monthly courses the same size?

A. No. The first month, European Reflexology is the most comprehensive, and each month varies in size and content. The second monthly program, Digestion and Life, will simply build on the first month’s information, and will be a bit easier to digest (pun intended!). Each month we intend to present information that will build your overall knowledge of holistic health and wellbeing.



Q. How often is a new course released?

A. A new course is released every 30 days, after the monthly payment has been successfully processed.

Q. What happens if my payment does not go through?

A. If for any reason payment is not processed or approved, there will be a maximum of 3 further attempts.

Q. What happens if all three payment attempts are unsuccessful?

A. Please note that the Progressive Reflexology Diploma is a cumulative program. The course will build each month on the last one. Should you cancel out of the program to re-enrol at a later stage, or have a payment fail to go through, you will start again at month one.

Please ensure that payment process operates smoothly, to avoid any possible interruption in your monthly course delivery.

Q. How much would it cost to take these courses individually?

A. Students actually paid a total of $5,240 for the 12 courses included in The Reflexology Zone, Progressive Reflexology Diploma program. These course are new and updated, which makes the cost of $97 a fantastic offer. Why would UCR do this? Because it’s about giving back! So many people are sicker and more in need of the healing powers of Reflexology than ever before. We will attempt to maintain this low cost for as long as possible. However we offer no guarantees!

Q. Who do I contact for Technical Questions?

A. Email the Universal College of Reflexology’s support team at [email protected] or post your question in the Student Lounge
