ART® Workshop

Sponsors a Continuing Education Workshop

A Two-Day pre-registered Program

Anthony Porter, a qualified remedial masseur first began using Reflexology in 1972, and from 1980 until 1990 was the European director of the International Institute of Reflexology. He reluctantly relinquished the post in 1990 to enable him to focus on new directions in Reflexology.

Through his many years in practice Anthony conceived and utilized various reflexology techniques which through clinical experience and constant refinements were found to greatly enhance the overall therapeutic potential of the therapy. These were gradually developed into a system which could either be used on its own or in conjunction with the generally accepted methods of application, particularly the Ingham Method® of Reflexology.

Based in his home city of London, Anthony teaches ART internationally and is continually receiving enquiries from the public for treatment with therapists trained in ART.

His techniques have been medically recognized to be extremely effective in the treatment of various gynecological conditions, a field in which he specializes.

The techniques demonstrated at ART® workshops represent a system that can be integrated with the more orthodox types of techniques, which form the foundation of reflexology.

ART techniques form a comprehensive, therapeutically effective ‘clinical’ method of treatment. Additionally they have proved to be highly successful in encouraging the body’s innate restorative energy, thus creating a healing response for a wide range of conditions.

In a conventional reflexology trial on patients with dysmenorrhea (severe period pain) at Whipps Cross Hospital in London, a leading consultant gynecological surgeon, Mr. Lindsay McMillan worked closely with Anthony Porter (Founder/Director of ART).

After nine or ten months it became obvious that ART techniques had a success rate in alleviating severe dysmenorrhea in the region of 85% - 90%, whereas in surgical treatment success was less than half that figure.

ART techniques can best be described as ‘an Evolvement of the Original Concept’ , therefore the techniques are only taught as part of post-graduate training. It is essential that the student has undertaken and is qualified in the correct foundation training such as the Ingham Method® of Reflexology.

ART techniques are generally more concentrated and deeper than the more orthodox approach. Although they have been devised for clinical use the techniques can be incorporated into a general treatment.

Subjects included in the workshops are:

The true meaning of the painful reflex

What is a disturbed reflex

The four main disturbed reflex textures and how to interpret them

Over treating and how it can cause ineffective results

Often treatments of 15 minutes are far more effective and indeed necessary

How to work out the disturbed reflexes - the sequential approach

Other topics will be discussed including the major significance of the Endocrine glands and the Neuro-hormonal system.
