Presenter:  David Wayte

Topic: Pre-recorded 'Theory of Introduction to Finger Free Reflexology' (via Zoom)

About the presentation:

Tired and aching fingers after a hard day's work? Want to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury? Or, do you fancy learning a radical new method of delivering Reflexology that will set you apart from your competitors?

FingerFree ® Reflexology has been devised and created by David Wayte. He was concerned about the likelihood of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) to the fingers and hands, resulting in Reflexologists having to give up their therapy after developing osteoarthritis in their fingers. Thinking there must be an answer to this problem, David spent five years perfecting this new technique and now offers it to you.

This introductory workshop consists of learning a some of the core FingerFree® techniques that you will find invaluable in adding to your reflexology repertoire. They will help save your fingers, and you will discover that even though you are able to make deep contact with your clients, the imput required from you is effortless.  

Whilst developing FingerFree® Reflexology, David found that his clients actually preferred it to classical Reflexology and discovered that the healing reaction to the techniques was profound. So this course is for ALL Reflexologists that what to learn a new way of working the feet.
