Emotional Release Reflexology

More and more research proves the relation between emotional pressure and its effects on physical health. Besides the adverse effects of unhealthy stress, the roots for burnout and depression often are found in past emotions and trauma.

With ERR we have a tool to touch those issued by touching the body through reflex-areas in the feet.

In this class you will learn how to work on specific reflex-areas of the feet which are connected to a person’s emotional level. You will also learn how to cope with and release emotions, which disable a person from unfolding his/her potential and bring back higher Quality of Life.

During this primarily hands-on class, techniques will also be practiced to balance out the emotional experience during and mainly at the end of each ERR Session.

About Your Instructor : Helga Dittmann, a Naturopathic Doctor in Germany, has had a thriving reflexology practice in Central & Southern Germany since 1984, developed Emotional Release Reflexology in 1998 and since then Helga has taught ERR extensively in Europe – Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, as well as in the USA. Helga is an Academy Graduate, Past President of German Reflexology Association& the Reflexology in Europe Network, RiEN and is widely known as a compassionate, attentive, insightful and highly skilled instructor.

The American Academy of Reflexology (AAR) has been a leader in Beginning, Continuing Education, and Certificate Courses in the field of Reflexology across United States and the world. Thousands of students on four continents have become highly successful practitioners of Reflexology, either focusing exclusively on Reflexology, or including Reflexology with Massage Therapy, Bodywork, Acupressure, Acupuncture, Chiropractics, Nursing, Cosmetology, Esthetics/Skin Care, Physical Therapy, Yoga, Fitness, Podiatry, Naturopathy, and other fields of the healing and caring arts.

Our students have the benefit of time proven methods and techniques combined with the latest most effective knowledge and breakthroughs. The American Academy of Reflexology is proud to have pioneered a number of contributions that helped to advance the field of Reflexology.

Reflexology For Neck Pain & Range of Motion

A Burbank, California housewife we will call Merl, had a neck so stiff she had to turn her whole body to look either side.After three Reflexology Sessions and some Self-Help Reflexology, Merl regained full range-of-motion of her neck for the first time in twelve years. 

This case of relief of pain and stiffness from Reflexology is dramatic only regarding the length of time Merl suffered. It is quite common for people to report relief of neck pain within a few sessions of Reflexology.


The Flocco Method – Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology is based on the principle that in each of these three places – ears, hands and feet – you have a complete pressure map in a shape of the human body. When you put pressure with you fingers and thumbs on these Reflexology Maps, it is something like going to a wall and turning the light switch. Although you are touching the light switch on the wall, the effect is seen on the light in the ceiling. So too, by properly reflexing the appropriate parts of the ears, hands and feet for the neck, relief of pain, stress, and range-of-motion issues, is often reported.

Over thirty years of working with feet, hands, and ears has shown that each is better for pain in different parts of the body.

Where to reflex first is called Priority Reflexing. For neck pain, go to the neck reflexes in the ears first, found above the ear lobes at the base of the hard cartilage, called the inner ridge. Hold between the pads of your fingers and thumbs with firm nurturing pressure.

Where to reflex first, second, and third is called Progression Reflexing . After reflexing the neck reflexes on the ears, progress to neck reflexes in the feet, located in the two-thirds of the toes closest to the feet, especially around the big toes.

Third progress to the neck reflexes in the hands, found in the two thirds of the fingers closest to the hands, especially around the thumbs.

Start with lighter pressure between the softer surface tissues and harder deeper tissues, until the deeper tissue softens and invites you to work deeper.

Remember the importance of drinking extra water to flush out any toxins released while reflexing. For serious health conditions also remember the value of your primary health care provider.

And as you have seen with the Flocco Method – Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology relief can literally be at your fingertips, and, you can use it anytime and anywhere.

Until we chat again in our next article, like Merl,you too can learn how to give relief of neck pain through Reflexology.

Reflexology For Emphysema

A 55-year-old lady suffering from emphysema experiences dramatic relief from her symptoms and greater ease of breathing.

Emphysema is surprisingly prevalent among people who smoke pipes, cigars or cigarettes, those who live or work in highly polluted areas, such as around spores, herbicides and pesticides, factories with high air contaminants, or people who live in especially polluted urban centers.
Emphysema results from the breaking down of the little air pockets in the lungs, called alveoli, causing larger spaces. Lungs lose the capacity to take natural fluids or mucus up to the throat and out. As this condition worsens, people with emphysema develop a cough, because of the fluid build up in the lungs, the result of the lungs inability to expel the fluids naturally.

Reflexology is the natural health science of applying finger and thumb pressure, using specific techniques, to points found in the feet, hands and outer ears that correspond to reflex maps resembling a shape of the human body. By placing specific finger and thumb pressure on the lung reflexes of the feet, hands and ears, in a surprising number of cases people report relief of their lung related tensions and discomforts.

For Reflexology for emphysema, first go to your feet, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the top of your feet. Place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.
For Reflexology for emphysema, second go to your hands, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the back of your hands. As in the feet, place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.

For Reflexology for emphysema, third go to your ears, lung reflexes are located in the lower valley, the recessed area near your ear canal, merely by placing the tip of your index fingers against the part of the ear in the lower valley. In effect, you will be gently applying pressure directly against the head bone.

It is recommend that you reflex each of these areas for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a day.

When you work on your lung reflexes, if you find tenderness in your feet, hands or ears, look at this tenderness as a gift and spend more time working on tender areas. Frequently, the result is that people report feeling better in the related part of the body.

It is often recommended to drink an extra glass or two of water to help flush toxins out of the body. If conditions persist, it might be wise to see your primary health care provider.

60 FASCINATING FACTS AND QUOTATIONS ABOUT HANDS

FASCINATING FACTS AND QUOTATIONS ABOUT HANDS

Hands 1^st Ten Fascinating Facts About Hands Every Practitioner Should Know

1). A quarter of all the bones in your body are found in your two hands.

2). Your hand is built in 3 sections: fingers are called phalanges, long bones in the middle of your hand are     called  metacarpals, and the wrist bones are called carpals.

3). Your hand contains 27 major and minor bones in each hand.

4).There are 14 phalanges in the thumb and fingers.

5).The thumb has two bones.

7). Each of the other four fingers in each hand has 3 bones (phalanges); The distal phalanges (distal meaning

6). further away from the body); the middle, a.k.a. medial phalanges; and the proximal phalanges (proximal
      meaning closest to the body).

7).  There are 5 long bones, metatarsals, in each hand, that connect the fingers to the wrist.

8). There are 8 wrist bones (carpals).

9). Your hands may also have numerous tiny sesamoid bones—which differ in number from person to person and appear in the hand’s tendons.

10).Each hand contains 29 major joints

Hands 2^nd Ten Fascinating Facts About Hands Every Practitioner Should Know

1). Each hand has at least 129 named ligaments.

2). The hand has 34 muscles that move the fingers and thumbs: 17 in the palm of the hand and 18 in the forearm.

3). We work our fingers by remote control…from our brain

4). The fingers are special, because there are no muscles inside the fingers. The muscles which bend the finger joints are located in the palm and up in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers like the strings of a marionette.

5). Each hand has 48 nerves: 3 major nerves, 24 named sensory branches and 21 named muscular branches.

6). Each hand has 30 named arteries and nearly as many smaller named branches.

7). Fingers are never perfectly straight.

8). The finger bones are relatively straight on the backside, but curved on the palm side.

9). The hand has five fingers.

10) Some babies are born with more than 5 fingers on a hand; the condition is called polydactyly or extra digits.There is no real explanation for this condition; however, it seems to be genetics and passed down through the mother’s line.

Hands 3^rd Ten Fascinating Facts About Hands Every Practitioner Should Know

1). Black babies are 10 times more likely than White babies to be born polydactyly.

2). Some babies are born with webbed fingers called syndactyly. It is a fairly common congenital defect that runs in families, affecting boy babies more often than girls and affects Caucasians more often than Blacks or Asians.

3). White babies are four times more likely than Black babies to be born syndactyly.

4). The five fingers had unusual names in the past.

5.  The Anglo-Saxons called the first finger scite or shooting finger; in Middle English it was called the toucher.

5).  In Middle English, the middle finger was known as the longman or long finger.

6. The Anglo-Saxons called the little finger, the “ear finger” because it was the one used to pick wax out of one’s ear. In Middle English, it was called the “little man.”

7).  The ring finger was known in Middle English as the lec-man or leech finger. And had medical powers like the leech. It was believed a nerve ran from the ring finger straight to the heart. For the same reason, the Germans called that finger the Artrzfinger or Doctor’s Finger.

8). The Romans also called the ring finger the digitus medicinalis and it has a similar medical name in Greek, Japanese, Korean and Polish.

9). The muscles which power the fingers are strong—strong enough to help rock climbers support their entire weight at times by a few fingertips.

10).Fingernails grow about the same amount as the world’s continents move every year.

14. The calcaneus bone is what most people call the heel bone
15. Each foot has 33 joints, 31 tendons, 19 muscles, and 107 ligaments.
16. What’s the difference between a tendon & a ligament? Both are fibrous tissues. Primarily, tendons attach muscles to bones, and ligaments are the tough tissue that holds bone to bone and stabilizes joints. Both are needed for joint strength & flexibility.
17. The thickest skin in the human body is located in the feet
18. Most people have one foot larger than the other; it’s rare for both feet to be exactly the same length.

20. The top of the foot is called the Dorsal Surface

Third 10 Of 70 Fascinating Facts about Feet

21. The outer edge of the foot is called the Lateral Surface
22. The inner edge of the foot, is called the Medial Surface

NAILS

23. Toenails are, structurally, modified hairs made of a tough protective protein.
24. The rate at which nails grow depends on several factors: like age, sex, diet, and exercise; it is known that fingernails grow faster than toenails.
25. Toenails grow faster in hot weather,
26. Toenails also grow more rapidly during pregnancy, and in children before puberty.
27. To grow an entirely new toenail requires at least five to six months.

SWEAT GLANDS

28. There are more sweat glands per square inch in the soles of your feet than any other part of your body.
29. Approximately 250,000 sweat glands in your feet, combined, can release about 8 ounces (one cup) of moisture each day.
30. Bacteria in the sweat, not the sweat itself, cause most of the smell in smelly feet.

Fourth 10 Of 70 Fascinating Facts about Feet

31. Alternating the shoes you wear every other day is helpful in reducing the sweaty foot odor.

GROWTH OF THE FEET FROM INFANCY

32. Some babies are born with webbed toes, considered a genetic defect often inherited.

42. Peripheral Vascular Disease of the arteries of the feet and legs can lead to pain on walking, ulceration, infection, and in severe cases—gangrene and possible amputation. Its primary cause is cigarette smoking.
43. Neuropathy, disease or dysfunction of peripheral nerves in the feet and legs, typically causes numbness or weakness.
44. Reflexologists, by being on the lookout for any of these symptoms, can help doctors arrive at an early diagnosis and treatment for either of the above conditions.
45. Going barefoot, especially on wet grass, soil, or sand, known as “earthing,” is excellent for your feet, joints, and other health benefits. Some studies have indicated these health benefits come from our bodies’ drawing electrons from the earth.

IMPORTANCE OF CORRECTLY FITTING SHOES

46. It’s difficult to concentrate on anything when you’re in pain, but especially when it’s your feet that hurt.
47. Not wearing the correct shoe size is a common mistake many people make.
48. Ill-fitting shoes are one of the main causes of foot pain
49. Many people wear shoes that are one to two sizes too small because they buy the size they wore when they were younger, perhaps unaware that feet change size throughout adulthood.

Sixth 10 Of 70 Fascinating Facts about Feet

51. Every time you purchase shoes, you should have your feet measured . . . while standing.
52. Why is standing still more tiring than walking? Walking helps circulate the blood. It’s the increased difficulty in circulation when you are standing that causes exhausted feet.
53. Although it is not “normal” for your feet to hurt – foot muscles tend to become uncomfortable when not enough fresh blood reaches them.
54. If you wear shoes with 2 ½ inch heels, the pressure on the ball and pad of you feet increases by 75%. Imagine how much greater that pressure is in 3 or 4 inch heels?

GAITS & WALKING & RUNNING

56. Gait . . . a person’s manner of walking . . . normally occurs without the whole foot ever flat on the ground.
57. Gait is usually different for both your left and right feet.
58. In a healthy gait, the foot’s first point of contact is the heel, then the outside border of the foot (a.k.a. the lateral arch), then the ball of your foot, and finally the big toe.
59. Irregularities in the gait, can contribute to health problems elsewhere in the body.
60. Irregularities in the alignment of the toes of the foot can also lead to health problems elsewhere in the body.

Seventh 10 Of 70 Fascinating Facts about Feet

61. When walking, each time your heel lifts off the ground, your toes are forced to carry about one half of your body weight.
62. While walking, the pressure on parts of your feet can vary enough to exceed your body weight.
63. Walking is the best exercise for your feet as well as your general health, as it improves circulation and promotes a state of well-being.
64. Number of miles women walk per day = 10
65. Number of miles men walk per day = 7
66. Thus, women walk 3 miles more than men each day.
67. By the time the average person is 70-years-old, he/she will have walked the equivalent of three to four times around the earth.
68. There are schools of thought suggesting that many foot problems and resulting health issues throughout the body, can be corrected or at least dramatically improved by properly and methodically working with the soft tissues of the feet in unique ways.
69. Entire professions are devoted to feet: Foot Reflexologist, Podiatrist, Podopaediatrics, Foot Hygienist, Podiatric Nurse, Pedorthist, Reflexognosist, Pedicurist, and of those biomechanical specialists who work for companies that make shoes for people with special needs.

   20 Exotic Reflexology Maps On Face, Head, Extremities & Energywork Through The Toes
   Start your year off by exploring, hands-on, twenty (20) Reflexology maps of the body discovered by medical doctors from around the world during the second half of the twentieth century. Learn about the Korean Reflex Maps – a complete reflex map of the entire body, located in each hand, and, in each foot – not both feet and hands as in the common Western Reflexology maps. Learn and work with Reflexology maps on the nose, face, temple, crown, big web of the hands, the Taiwanese 2nd Metacarpal Reflexology Map, Phases 3 and 4 on the outer ear, and many others. Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, Nurses, primary health care providers and others will be able to work with these lesser Reflexology Maps separately, or incorporate them into their current touch therapy practices. You will be amazed at the profound power of what you will learn. Imagine being able to bring about profound relaxation, and even emotional release, with the lightest touch, just on the ten toes and ten fingers. In class, apply these unique techniques discovered by Bill, during his years of teaching Reflexology around the world. Until you experience it, it’s hard to believe how profound these can be. Students will practice on each other the “Brazilian Toe Technique,” the “California Toe Technique,” as well as the “Canadian Toe Technique.” Most people are amazed at how such light work can lead to such deep relaxation and occasionally such significant emotional releases. This class is ideal for all who would like to have simple, easy, gentle ways to induce profound relaxation.

   Saturday & Sunday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM For Beginners and Professionals: 12 CE Hours for ARCB, NCBTMB, ABMP, and many States.
   While in Western Pathology Classes in acupuncture school, I constantly found myself exclaiming, ‘Reflexologists need to know this!’ “Who knew that acupuncture school could send me back to Reflexology with more dedication than ever? I understand that Reflexologists and other natural health practitioners do not diagnose, but knowledge is power.” – Lisa M. Chan, LAc, PhD. It seems, more than ever, Reflexologists are working closely with their Western and Eastern medicine counterparts. With so many of the symptoms of disease appearing on the feet and hands, Bill Flocco has agreed to hold this pathology class. (Pathology = the study of disease) Anyone dealing with feet, hands and outer ears would benefit from knowing or reviewing some of the possible reasons that people have non-healing wounds, edema, swelling, shooting pains, structural irregularities, weakness, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and repetitive disorders; or how diabetes, genetic disorders, DVT, MRSA, TB, AIDS, allergic reactions, cellulitis, phlebitis, lymphedema, syphilis, possible skin cancer, athletes foot, and how these may show up in, or impact feet, hands or outer ears. And, although Reflexologists and natural health practitioners do not diagnose, it can be valuable to learn when, and some ways of how, to refer clients to podiatrists, chiropractors, ERs, MDs and dermatologists. Additionally, learn hands-on techniques and exercises to help with structural issues of the feet and hands, as well as when to glove up and mask up with your clients, and how to clear your session/treatment rooms and yourselves after working with sick or possibly contagious people.
