Last Chance to Attend How To Relieve Chronic Foot Pain Workshop

I want to let you know that registration for the How to Relieve Chronic Foot Pain workshop in Tucson on November 6 and 7 will close this coming Saturday, October 23.

If your clientele includes people living with mild or severe foot pain, I strongly encourage you to join us. From what you will learn in our two days together your clients will experience a noticeable improvement in their situation.

We will examine dozens of foot pain conditions, how the allopathic world approaches them and how we reflexologists can address those conditions. I will also share a hands-on protocol that I use to help people suffering from plantar fasciosis/fasciitis, peripheral neuropathy and tarsal tunnel syndrome that involves releasing impingement along the S1 nerve root and re-educating the muscles attaching into the feet to track correctly. That particular protocol is responsible for the reputation I have for being the ‘go-to’ person to see when experiencing foot pain.

You will leave the training with an illustrated manual, one of the Academy foot charts, document templates to use with clients, and access to a video of the protocol so that you can review at home.

In case you are wondering if I offer this training online, or if I would offer it online in the future, the answer is no. I’m ‘old-school’ when it comes to teaching hands-on techniques. My experience has taught me that people need live feedback and correction when learning new techniques such as I will share. Please note that the Tucson date on November 6 and 7 is the last time I will teach this workshop before retiring from teaching reflexology.

I hope I see you there!

Build a Niche Practice Providing Solutions to Foot Pain

Hand drawn figure with feet on fire.

Several years ago, I was surprised to discover that I had developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot. In all honesty, I had, up until that time, not paid much attention to the condition. I had no choice then!

Online research indicated that it could take a year to correct and that was not acceptable!

I set about to learn as much as I could as quickly as possible, by reading current literature, studying with a chiropractor who specialized in the condition and mining information from earlier trainings I had taken. I’m happy to say that I was able to create a recovery plan that allowed me to return to normal within three months.

Since then, I have studied and learned even more and have been able to help countless others rid themselves of this painful condition. I learned that there are many external reasons and physical imbalances that can cause plantar fasciitis and its advanced and more serious cousin, plantar fasciosis. It’s not always a case of tight calf muscles. (It wasn’t for me.)

While sharing my knowledge and experience with other reflexologists over the next few years, I kept being asked about other painful conditions, so I decided to morph the plantar fasciitis class into the current How to Relieve Chronic Foot Pain workshop. This training has helped many reflexologists stand out in the crowd as the go-to person in their community when foot pain is the issue. By taking the information shared in the workshop these therapists have built successful niche practices serving people with chronic foot pain.

I invite you to join your fellow reflexologists and me this year, either in Vancouver, Toronto, or Tucson to learn this valuable work.

  • Learn a reflexologist’s approach to 19 conditions that cause chronic pain in the feet.
  • Practice a specific hands-on protocol for plantar fasciitis/fasciosis, tarsal tunnel syndrome and peripheral neuropathy.
  • Gain access to a video of the hands-on protocol.  
  • Leave with an illustrated manual and client form templates.

Added bonus! – if you join me in Vancouver, you can help me celebrate my birthday!

Here’s a link to the details.  Thank you in advance for sharing this with your fellow therapists. I sincerely appreciate that and hope to see you in one of these three locations!

  • September 18 & 19 – Vancouver, BC
  • October 2 & 3 – Toronto, ON
  • November 6 & 7 – Tucson, AZ
