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.

Perhaps you have heard of the world famous Whittaker Health Newsletter. For decades, desperate people with life threatening health challenges have traveled from all over North America and the world to the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Orange County, California. The team of five medical doctors and staff Reflexologist Paul Harvey have been working with those suffering from the below conditions with remarkable results. During this hands-on Seminar, you will learn where and how to work on Feet, Hands, and Ears for relieving stresses related to each of these health challenges.      Problems with kidneys, prostate, colon, lungs, and spinal column are almost of epidemic proportions. The incidence of kidneys, prostate, colon, lungs, and spinal column problems is growing, causing terrible pain and suffering. In a clinical setting, using Integrative Medical approaches, Foot Hand Ear Reflexology has become an integral part of caring for patients with these chronic and degenerative health challenges.      During this hands-on Seminar, students will learn where and how to work on Feet, Hands, and Ears for relieving stresses related to Kidney Conditions, Prostatitis, Crohn's Disease, and Asthma-COPD, Spinal Discogenic Conditions. This Seminar is for the person relatively new to the touch therapies as well as for the experienced practitioner.

   It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. With the study of Iridology, the eyes (specifically the iris) are believed to be the window to the entire body. Iridology has been used for many years throughout Europe and has gained popularity in the West during the past fifty years. During this exciting hands-on workshop, students will learn how to look at the iris of the eye, to identify which organs, glands, structures and anatomical systems of the body might be suffering the adverse effects of stress. Some subjects that will be explored are: What Iridology is and it’s history. What can and cannot be read using Iridology. Herring’s Law. Organic Functional Imbalance Curative Crisis “Reaction to the Natural Process from Organic Healing.” In addition these subjects will be covered. Introduction to: Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Localization of the Areas of the Iris (Graph), Functional States of the Iris, Genetic Constitution, Marks of the Iris, Signs of the Iris. Students will be guided through practice using magnifying glass and light to “read” the iris of the eye. After this Seminar, you will never look at the eyes in the same way again.

   Polarity Reflexology combines working energetically with the Five Elements of Polarity Therapy; Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether, with Foot & Hand Reflexology. Learn how the 5 elements (slightly different from Chinese Medicine) affect you, your client and your sessions together. It can become part of the way you communicate in all aspects of your life, including how you, the practitioner speak, move, touch and make protocol-related decisions, i.e. what areas of the feet and hands to emphasize for balancing your client elementally. A completely new In-Take Form and protocols are included, based on your client’s Five Element needs, such as grounding/fear (earth), motivating creativity (fire), grieving (ether), panic (air), not letting go (water). Being able to identify these elements in your clients, their bodies, their voices and their complaints helps identify opportunities for incorporating the 5 elements seamlessly into your sessions. Instructor, Lisa Chan, LAc, PHd, and RPP (Registered Polarity Practitioner) considers the principles of Polarity Reflexology a core part of all of her sessions as well as the larger world around her, outside of sessions. Come join the exploration of the 5 Elements, their corresponding sounds, music, voice, touch, movement, body mapping and Foot & Hand Reflexology in a new way of seeing your world and making a deeper, more connected impact on your work and life. This class is open to the enthusiastic non-reflexologist, massage therapists, Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, others in the caring arts, but some knowledge of reflexology is helpful.

   For Beginners and Professionals: 12 CE Hours for ARCB, NCBTMB, ABMP, and many States.
   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.

4. Pathologies of the Feet Hands Outer Ears      August 13-14

   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.
