(Universal):
Reflexology is a non-invasive
therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and hands using finger and
thumb techniques thus relieving stress and tension and improving
circulation.

- Register reflexology
practitioners, teachers, educational organizations and
methodologies that meet established minimum standards.
- Maintain the highest ethical
standard of the profession and to the public.
- Establish Reflexology as a self-governing
profession.
- Act as the unified voice for
Reflexology in the province of Ontario.
Why?
- To protect the identity and the
right to practice Reflexology in the province of Ontario.
- To send a strong and unified
voice to lobby government and private insurance companies with
one voice as a profession.
Erotic Body Rub Parlour and Body
Rubbers:
The following is taken directly from
the Municipal Act R.S.O. M45 Sect. 224:
"Any
kneading, manipulating, rubbing, massaging, touching or stimulating,
by any means of a person's body or part unless providing a medical
or therapeutic service duly qualified, licensed or registered so to
do under the laws of the province of Ontario."
It is strongly suggested that all
practicing Reflexologists obtain a copy of the Municipal Act to
become fully informed. Every municipality in Ontario has the right
to license you under this act.
