Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to practice Foot Zone Therapy professionally after completing this course?
The regulations governing the professional practice of foot zone therapy can vary depending on your country, state, or jurisdiction.
In certain states, foot zone therapy may be classified under reflexology, massage therapy, or alternative medicine. Accordingly, this requires foot zone practitioners to obtain a license or certification. Although, in other states there may be no specific regulations or licensing requirements. This means practitioners may be able to provide foot zone therapy without a license or certification, while still adhering to relevant regulations related to business licensing and practicing within the scope of their training.
If you’re interested in becoming a professional foot zone practitioner, it’s important to research and understand the specific regulations in your state or jurisdiction. Above all consult the licensing board or regulatory agency overseeing reflexology, massage therapy, alternative medicine, or bodywork professions in your area to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information.

How is Foot Zone Therapy different from Reflexology?
While reflexology focuses on applying pressure to specific points on the body to enhance the physical functioning of the internal organs, Foot Zone Therapy takes a more holistic approach by addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the entire body.
In Foot Zone Therapy, the foot is divided into four distinct zones, each corresponding to specific physiological systems or parts of the body. This therapy encompasses the entire body, including the lymphatic system, muscular system, endocrine system, skeletal system, and internal organs. All of which can be worked on through the feet to promote overall wellness.
By considering the interconnectedness of various body systems, this therapy aims to support the well-being of the whole person.
