This module introduces chair hand reflexology as a simple, accessible self-care practice designed to support awareness, presence, and choice. You will be guided through the foundations of hand reflexology, including its historical roots, the concept of the hand as a microcosm of the body, and how sensory awareness can be used to support relaxation and connection in the present moment. The practice is offered in a way that invites exploration rather than instruction, encouraging you to notice sensation, breath, and response without pressure to achieve a particular outcome.
Across the module, you will learn a range of gentle hand techniques, including knuckle walking, finger work, pressure points, and the use of simple tools to support self-care. The emphasis is on slowing down, noticing what you feel, and working with your own rhythm rather than following a fixed or prescriptive method. You will also be encouraged to develop a more embodied understanding of the hands, exploring how they relate to the wider body and nervous system. This is a practice grounded in accessibility, choice, and personal experience, suitable for everyday use and adaptable to individual needs and contexts.
