    (Normal 2: June 8, 2025)

    Normal Function techniques emphasize secondary movements at joints as a means of normalizing minutia of function after local soft tissue work.  Strictly speaking, secondary movements are vital, minute, and invisible components of larger, visible movements that prevent undue wear and tear on joint structures.  In the context of this curriculum, the term “secondary movement” is expanded to include any smaller movement that ideally  accompanies a larger movement, for longevity of joint health.  Examples of secondary motion are the screw home mechanism (external tibial rotation with terminal knee extension), or pronation of the foot with internal hip rotation, in a closed-chain environment.   

    Normal Function techniques can be used for assessment, to “oil” a joint for smoother performance, or to boost therapeutic potency at targeted areas.  Most Normal Function Techniques are easy to apply, and can be unobtrusively peppered into your existing bodywork repertoire.

    Normal Function techniques emphasize secondary movements at joints as a means of normalizing minutia of function after local soft tissue work.  Strictly speaking, secondary movements are vital, minute, and invisible components of larger, visible movements that prevent undue wear and tear on joint structures.  In the context of this curriculum, the term “secondary movement” is expanded to include any smaller movement that ideally  accompanies a larger movement, for longevity of joint health.  Examples of secondary motion are the screw home mechanism (external tibial rotation with terminal knee extension), or pronation of the foot with internal hip rotation, in a closed-chain environment.   

    Normal Function techniques can be used for assessment, to “oil” a joint for smoother performance, or to boost therapeutic potency at targeted areas.  Most Normal Function Techniques are easy to apply, and can be unobtrusively peppered into your existing bodywork repertoire.

    This course examines the basic theory and techniques of foot Reflexology and how this can benefit clients with cancer. Topics will include the following:

    •  A review of the anatomy of the feet

    •  What is Reflexology and how it works

    •  The history of Reflexology

    •  The general benefits of Reflexology with emphasis on stress reduction

    •  The role stress plays in cancer

    •  How Reflexology/Foot Massage reduces stress

    •  The value and benefits of stress reduction in cancer patients through Reflexology

    •  An overview of the reflexes and referral patterns of the feet

    •  Zone Therapy

    The goal of this course is to learn foot massage techniques that have a basis in Reflexology and be able to apply those techniques to the various types of cancer a client may have to help reduce stress and relieve pain. Often clients will respond to reflexology with renewed strength and energy and see an improvement in their natural vitality. Reflexology can speed up recovery from major surgery and make the recovery process itself more bearable.

    The aim is to provide therapists with new techniques for working on clients when you cannot utilize

    other massage techniques on the body. These techniques can also be incorporated into any style of

    bodywork as well.
