Would Reflexology be considered a branch of Massage Therapy?

[Kara]

I'm looking into going into the career of Relflexology and looking at colleges near me. None of them are specifically saying that they offer those courses, and I'm not getting good responses through phone and chat. Most of them are saying they do offer Massage Therapy courses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reflexology is basically a scam treatment and the method by which it is alleged it works is a lie.

You're far better doing massage therapy that is more likely to get you work, then you can just 'learn' reflexology from a book if you still feel the need.

"Concerns have been raised by medical professionals that treating potentially serious illnesses with reflexology, which has no proven efficacy, could delay the seeking of appropriate medical treatment."

In most states reflexology is not licensed under massage therapy. You can learn it by taking seminars. Just check reflexology seminars on the web
