ART Reflexology with Tony Porter

[Music] I'm Tony Porter and I teach and I treat reflexology but a reflexology came about some very important clinical trials we were doing at a leading Hospital in London okay so we go this way then this way around here this and from that study and using all the modern equipment at that time we knew which techniques were better than others so lots of the things I formulated came from that trial the idea the idea on your bench at home have a gap there see the to and the mve the movement is that [Music] see that's firm but not hard and also by the way art is now International it it's taught in Australia in Canada South Africa and in France particularly with L in Holland my mission is so also aims to give people that confidence and that's really helps me when I see people who come in shy nervous lacking confidence go out of the seminar and they suddenly realize their that their practice has really blossomed and we think giving good service to to your clients or patients is a vital thing and we like that hear those success stories yes oh yes and they also they can work down on the outside inside of the hill and I enjoy seeing people improve I enjoy seeing very much so seeing how the new practitioner gets confidence and it's the confidence and the positiveness of it the positive attitude of mind to be practitioner is vital the standard reflexology talk property is very important and the finger walking and thumb walking techniques are has to be the foundation you can start off with a finger walking like this down the foot so a is much more stimulating it's much deeper and um it's not so much of the beauty therapy type at all it's away from that and it's a nice pain and generally you can call this a much more stimulating not using the finger or thumb walking so it's very sparing on the hands the flat side the flat medial side of our third fingers here and here make contact not the Knuck we don't do this with Knuckles what have have I talked today at this um a seminar well it was an overie and the overview is to get people interested and to realize there's different fields out there as I just mentioned different strategies that could be included in their existing should we say protol and to give them confidence SS are very good as an introduction we give people four or five basic techniques we have done today that they can include straight away so you can work the uterus and the ovary and the heel area in one go and the secret here is toally bring that toe forward onto it then hook upwards and with your index fingers you can slide all the way up and you also get the thyroid in lungs the things are here like this we have found out that the treatment of say 15 minutes can be more beneficial than one of an hour although we're not trying to suggest that you shouldn't do our treatment on people who need it for maintenance but in a clinical situation sometimes shorter treatments done more often more frequently are think they're the they're the key ones step the here see you support and you work with the same hand a whole series of movements that's how it works posture and refix is most important thing how we sit denotes how the quality of our of our treatment so the patient benefits from that as well and and they're very affected and we think giving good service to to your clients or patients is a vital thing and we like that hear those success stor there's this wonderful release of energy and Euphoria and this Eureka moment that really is very satisfying to me as as a tutor in the same way when a patient suddenly wow I feel great when I walk out of this room they came in looking down they must be on chemotherapy looking at death and they walk out of the room feeling better I wonderful just having the feet work on does this to me that's that's that's makes all worthwhile is that right now your you can also use this well I see here if people want to find more about me and art please go to our website which is art reflex.com [Music]
