1-Day Hand Reflexology Course – What You Might Learn

A 1-day introductory workshop (8 hours) usually focuses on the basics — ideal if you just want to try reflexology, learn to help friends and family, or decide if you want to study more.

Core Topics

Introduction to Reflexology – what it is, basic theory, history and benefits

Hand Anatomy & Basic Physiology – simple understanding of hand structure

Reflex Maps/Charts – how different areas of the hand correspond to body systems

Basic Techniques – thumb walking, finger pressure, light patterns

Contraindications & Safety – when not to treat someone

Self-care & Relaxation Skills – how to use reflexology for personal wellbeing

Hands-On Practice

Practice basic techniques on your own hands

Try simple, short sessions on a partner

Outcome: A nice foundation in hand reflexology that builds confidence to practice at a basic level or go on to more advanced courses.

2-Day Hand Reflexology Course – What’s Added

A 2-day course expands what you learn and gives more time for practice. The specific offering at Vines Rd Community Centre in Geelong (often run by ASRR) typically includes this structure:

Day 1

Hand anatomy & reflex zone mapping

Core pressure techniques (thumb walking, finger holds)

Safe client positioning & communication basics

Reflexology theory connected to body systems

Day 2

Deeper technique refinement

Full hands-on sessions giving and receiving

Practical routines you can use straight away

Certificate of completion (often included)

Practical Benefits

More confidence with real session flow

Better timing + rhythm of a full hand reflexology session

Clearer understanding of how the theory applies to practice

Weekend Courses (Intro or “For Everyone”)

Weekend formats (like some ASRR workshops) mix theory and practice in a relaxed, supportive environment:

Topics Covered

Reflexology background & holistic principles

Safety, hygiene, and ethical boundaries

Hand reflexology techniques and routines

How reflexology supports wellbeing and relaxation

Extra bonus treatments for yourself

Manual / course notes + certificate at end

This type of course is often described as perfect before enrolling in a diploma. Some providers will credit the workshop fee against the full diploma if you choose to continue.
