Does reflexology require special training?
Yes. We at Happy Buddha believe that the best reflexologists are the ones trained for it – they are licensed acupuncturists. Licensed acupuncturists differ from regular masseuse in that they have spent years studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Meridian System. Knowing exactly where the acupuncture points are are of vital importance. Each reflexive zone corresponds to acupuncture points. A trained acupuncturist can detect the subtle location differences of these areas between individuals and best determine where they should apply the pressure. People have slight differences. Knowing these slight differences is the difference between having a treatment therapy and having injuries. As in acupuncture, a millimeter can mean the difference between healing and temporary paralyzing. This is the reason why at Happy Buddha, all of our therapists are licensed California acupuncturists.
