Reflexology and massage advice?

[Happee]

I am thinking of doing an ITEC in either reflexology or massage. I already have a profession, so even though I know I qualify to work professionally with an ITEC I want it more as a hobby and perhaps for casual work during weekends.

I will be working full time whilst doing the course one evening per week, so can only choose one.

Does anyone have any experiences with either reflexology or massage that could help me make a decision?

Reflexology relies on a lot of hocus pocus:

"Reflexology's claim to manipulate energy (Qi) has been controversial, as there is no scientific evidence for the existence of life energy (Qi), 'crystalline structures,' or 'pathways' in the body"

You're far better off with massage, as at least it doesn't make any outrageous claims.
