Course content
In Denmark reflexology is the mostly used alternative treatment form, with one in four having consulted a reflexologist. In Danish fertility clinics 75 percent of the patients also have contacts with the complementary field, the majority of whom choose reflexology. Therefore a lot of know-how on treating infertility exists among Danish reflexologists.

Every sixth couple experience problems reproducing themselves.
In only 35 percent of all infertility cases, conventional medicine is able to identify the underlying cause. In the remaining 65 percent the medical system can not find an explanation for the lacking fertility. Especially within this group reflexologists are often able to help.

Giving both the male and the female body the best possible condition for conceiving a new human being is a great task. It is therefore important to know about the most common causes of infertility, like: The condition of mucous membranes, quality of semen, nutritional status, low metabolism, stress, the iliopsoas and other pelvic muscles, hidden infections, the spine and of course the hormonal system and reproductive organs.
Our aim is to present the newest knowledge within complementary as well as conventional fertility treatments.

Topics include:

• Common causes for male and female infertility
• Conventional fertility therapy
• Infertility and PCO (Poly Cystic Ovaries)
• The anatomy and physiology of reproduction
• How does stress influences fertility?
• What affects semen quality?
• A complementary view on infertility
• Role of the psoas muscle
• Mucous membranes
• Infections
• Scars, importance and treatment
• Treatment intervals
• Nutrition, vitamins and minerals
• Reflex areas and points for nerves, musculo-skeletal structures, organs and glands involved with reproduction

In the workshop you will learn techniques from Classical Reflexology, Nordic traditions, Nerve Reflexology, trigger points, tests and exercises.

With the workshop comes an extensive fully illustrated manual covering both theory and practise.

The day will be conducted with a mixture of lecturing, demonstrations and lots of practical hands-on work.

CPD credits are available.
 

Words of recommendation from Sharon Stathis

Denmark is something special….! Reflexology is the mostly used complementary therapy, used by Ό of the population. Dorthe Krogsgaard and Peter Lund Frandsen represent the high standards of Danish reflexology in an inspiring and professional way.
I highly recommend their workshop, knowing it will be presented with lots of experience and humour!
