This event is part of the series: Round about...
Pain is the most common reason for seeking treatment. However, pain conditions, especially chronic pain, can be challenging to treat.
In this webinar you will be updated with the latest knowledge about pain and learn new strategies and techniques for reflexology treatment.
It may be that chronic pain requires a completely different approach than you may have previously thought!
Understanding Chronic Pain
A fundamental overview of what chronic pain is and how it differs from acute pain.
This includes a discussion on how pain becomes chronic and the physical and psychological burden it brings.
Pain Mechanisms
A detailed review of the physiological and neurological mechanisms involved in pain perception and pain transmission.
Reflexes for the multifidus muscles
The small multifidus muscles close to the spine are among the most frequently involved in back pain and facet joint pain.
Nerve points for the occipital nerves
The occipital nerves: Occipitalis major and minor, and the auricularis magnus are involved with posterior tension headaches.
Working nerve points helps both with acute pain and to break vicious circles of chronic pain.
Underlying Causes
Exploration of the various causes of chronic pain, including inflammatory conditions, musculoskeletal problems, and central sensitization of the nervous system.
Emotional Aspects of Chronic Pain
Understanding how psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression can impact chronic pain and how to assist clients in managing these aspects.
Reflexology and Pain Relief
How reflexology can be used as a method for pain relief, including specific techniques and points that can be targeted to reduce the pain experience.
- and, of course, plenty of hands-on demonstration.
Case Studies
Review of cases with examples of successful treatments for chronic pain.

Peter and Dorthe presented the most organized and professional training class I have ever attended in my adult life. As a 46-year-old veteran I have been through many classes from military training, to underwater welding, to different types of healing modalities. I was very impressed with the work Peter and Dorthe are doing. Thank you for the wealth of information I will be putting to valuable use. Cheers.

Dorthe and Peter took a complicated subject like anatomy and made it very easy to understand as well as remember. They're phenonemal instructors that take necessary time with you as an individual to show you exactly where and how to work on your clients. This is easily one of the best reflexology classes I have taken.
