  • What distinguishes a clinical type of treatment from a general one?


  • Going back in time.


  • Authority, rather than brutality, is essential.

About Tony

  • Member of the London and Counties Society of Physiologists (LCSP)


  • Began practicing physical therapy and reflexology in 1974


  • Studied Ortho-Bionomy with founder Arthur Lincoln Pauls


  • After a meeting with the late Dwight Byers nephew of Eunice Ingham, he was invited to work at the International Institute of Reflexology Head office in St. Petersburg, Florida.
    Travelled with Dwight and individually giving seminars Internationally for over 20 years.


  • Ran the London office of the I.I.R for ten years.


  • Maintained a very busy practice in north and central London.


  • Realising the importance of applying the appropriate contacts to a reflex he developed a system of techniques known as A.R.T. (Advanced Reflexology Training). This later developed into Focused Reflexology® to better describe the approach. 


  • The important factor in reflexology is to recognise that a painful reflex does not necessarily indicate a problem to its related area. It is the nature of the reflex texture which is the key. Not being aware of this gives a completely unreliable assessment of the clients reflex status.
    The concepts of Focused Reflexology are taught internationally.

Reflexology decoded - an online presentation by Tony Porter Saturday November 9th Start time 3.00 pm (15.00 hours UK time) Duration: approximately two hours Cost £40.00 Reflexology is a multifaceted therapy akin to an elusive butterfly that never stays in one place for long; its movements are impossible to predict. I've spent nearly six decades as a reflexologist trying to understand this elusiveness. While I can't claim to have fully grasped it, I have become aware of the reasons behind it. This has given me a deeper understanding of reflexology and transformed the effectiveness of my treatments. My intention for this presentation is to help fellow reflexologists gain a better and clearer understanding of the therapy. This includes becoming aware of how the client’s (and, equally importantly) the practitioner's levels of Qi or electricity affect treatment outcomes. Strategies for quickly increasing these will be discussed and demonstrated. Reflexology offers a life-changing opportunity for practitioners willing to challenge conventional norms. This enables a more therapeutically valuable service to clients, which, after all, is the purpose of our work. Overview of subjects Classical reflexology defined. The reflexes can tell interesting stories if we know how to interpret them. Understanding the "law" of the "disturbed" reflex. Is it necessary to work all the reflex areas of the feet? Treating what you find and not what you are looking for. The advantages of splitting a treatment into two phases. Utilising the appropriate types of techniques to match each client's unique reflex status. The Slippery Slope: Working with an Emollient - Good or Bad? Electricity (life force, Chi, Qi, etc.) levels in the client and practitioner are a significant factor in treatment response. The piezoelectric action of reflexology. I look forward to meeting you at the presentation (early booking is advised). My Best wishes Copyright 2024 Tony Porter Founder Focused Reflexology/ A.R.T.®

Having an interest in the Buddhist and Zen philosophy I have some favourite poems and writings.

This is one of them and it particularly relates to those of us in the health professions.

The human body, at peace with itself

Is more precious than the rarest gem.

Cherish your body, it is yours this one time only.

The human form is won with difficulty, it is easy to lose.

All worldly things are brief,

Like lightening in the sky;

this life you must know

As the tiny splash of a raindrop;

A thing of beauty that disappears

Even as it comes into being,

Therefore set your goal and 

Make use of every day and night

To achieve it.


This was written by Tsongkhapa who was a 14th century Tibetan Lama and Buddhist.
