Business opportunities for graduates of professional Reflexology training are expanding rapidly. This is due to a number of reasons. One in particular is the great flexibility offered by the nature of reflexology – it can work successfully as a stand-alone business as well as along-side other businesses or even within other professional practices. Reflexologists can be home-based, in commercial settings or even mobile services bringing Reflexology to those that may incur difficulty getting around.
More and more Reflexologists are becoming aware of the advantages of specialization. They are expanding their knowledge with additional training to meet the demands of niche markets. They’re learning new skills upgrading themselves as specialists. Reflexologists may specialize in women’s issues such as menopause as more women than ever are now entering this phase of their lives and are looking for alternative to pills. Other Reflexologists are working exclusively with sports teams and athletes to keep them fit and healthy. And the list and needs go on and on.
There are many health service workers training in Reflexology to gain additional skills that will help their patients, and doctors are becoming more aware of the benefits of Reflexology, particularly as an antidote to stress. In some cases medical offices, wellness clinics, foot care specialists and so on are providing space within these medical practices for professional Reflexologists to complement their existing practice.
