Perform a consultation
Perform a consultation for each client, as described in the Reflexology Course Notes.
This is to determine whether the client has any contra-indications to treatment, and thus whether it is safe to proceed with the course of 6 treatments.
If the client does have contra-indications to treatment. Then ask for a doctor’s permission if the contra-indications are major. Or modify the treatment accordingly if it is a minor contra-indication.

Prepare a treatment plan for the course of six treatments. Do use the information that you gleaned from the consultation to determine the client’s problem areas and desired solution, and work together to agree the plan.
Perform a reflexology treatment
Set up the treatment area as described in the Reflexology Course Notes.
Inform the client how to prepare for the treatment as described in the Reflexology Course Notes.
Remember how important hygiene is and inform the client you are going to wash your hands. Telling them lets them know you are a professional therapist and take hygiene seriously.
Perform a reflexology treatment as described in the Reflexology Course Notes.
When you finish, again tell the client you are going to wash you hands and get them a glass of water.
Once the client is dressed:-
