Understanding
Rheumatic Illnesses and Inflammation
Rheumatic diseases affect joints, muscles, tendons and connective tissue throughout the body.
More than 200 different rheumatic conditions exist, many of them characterized by inflammation, pain and reduced mobility.
In this course we explore how facial reflexology therapy stimulation can support the body’s regulatory systems and help restore functional balance.
Using the Sorensensistem™ method, therapists learn how specific reflex areas and points in the face, scalp and feet can be stimulated to support clients suffering from rheumatic disorders.
Clinical Applications
This course teaches practical facial reflexology therapy applications for clients suffering from rheumatic and inflammatory conditions.
Students learn how to identify reflex areas and points connected to joints, muscles, immune responses, and inflammatory processes.
The training explains how to organize structured nerve reflex stimulation protocols that may support:
- reduction of joint tension and stiffness
- improved circulation in affected areas
- regulation of inflammatory responses
- support for mobility and functional balance
These techniques can be integrated into professional treatments.
Professional Outcomes
After completing this training, practitioners will be able to integrate facial reflexology therapy protocols into their professional practice.
Participants learn how to work with clients suffering from rheumatic conditions such as:
- rheumatoid arthritis
- osteoarthritis
- gout
- psoriatic arthritis
- hypermobility
- inflammatory joint conditions
The course provides therapists with structured treatment approaches that can be used in clinics, rehabilitation settings, and complementary therapy practices.
