EXTRACT FROM TSARS JOURNAL – SEPTEMBER / DECEMBER 2005
Reprinted in part from Clinical Reflexology – A Guide for Health Professionals. Edited by Peter A. Mackereth and Denise Tiran. Title of Article – Challenging the ‘Rules’ of Reflexology. Author Clive o’Hara. Page Number 33 to 48. Copyright 2002, with permission from Elsevier.
In order for reflexology to develop further as a profession, to gain greater acceptance, credibility and reputation, it is essential to continue to challenge and debate traditional knowledge and belief. Relieving restrictions that originated from an era when there was little experience of clinical practice enhances the healing potential of reflexology. Integration into conventional health care will open doors and widen the opportunity for treating people with specialized conditions, so facilitating research and thereby further enhancing the profile of the profession. It is vital that practitioners keep up to date through continuing education. Equally important is that the authorities within reflexology practice and education continue to improve the collaborative communications now taking place without seeing them as a threat to their personal autonomy. Research into reflexology must take account of the variations in practice and theory so that the boundaries can be pushed back even further for the benefits of clients, practitioners and the profession.
