Welcome to the site of Functional Reflex Therapy
The Functional Reflex Therapy Framework for Reflexology is designed for children and adults of all ages with high levels of anxiety, intellectual difficulties, autism, special educational needs and disabilities and is an enjoyable beneficial experience for more vulnerable adults with dementia and Alzheimer's.
The holistic package of Functional Reflex Therapy offers a unique framework accessible to all. It uses a combination of relaxation techniques drawn from original theories and practices of the complementary therapy of reflexology, supported where appropriate with the easily recognisable logo and the FRT tool kit to help with communication, preparation and involvement with the session.
FRT may reduce stress, anxiety, relieve tension, help improve mood, encourage engagement, social interaction and increase receptiveness.
This unique framework provides a range of opportunities and experiences including:
The basic techniques, which can be shared with parents and carers in a nurturing, positive touch activity workshop, taught by a qualified FRT reflexologist.
The FRT Rainbow Relaxation Routine training for the classroom is available as a professional package for your school delivered by founder Lorraine Senior.
FRT training for the qualified reflexologist. This enables reflexologists to use the FRT Framework to support their individual therapy sessions, alongside their previous experience. FRT qualified reflexologists can then provide a therapy tailored to best meet the needs of the client.
