A trust built on healing hands and open doors
ரெங்கா அக்குபஞ்சர் & யோகா சமூக சுகாதார கல்வி மேம்பாட்டு அறக்கட்டளை
Registered in 2005 in Shenoy Nagar, Chennai, the trust exists to make drug-free healing affordable, understood and teachable.
From one clinic to a movement
Dr. S. Ravichandran began practising acupuncture, acupressure and foot reflexology in 1995. He saw daily how patients with chronic pain, diabetes and stress found relief without medicines — and how few people knew these therapies existed.
In 2005 he registered the Renga Acupuncture & Yoga Social Health Education Development Trust (Regd. No. 271/2005) with a simple charter: treat the poor free of cost, teach the public what they can do for themselves, and train practitioners who would multiply the work.
Two decades later the trust has conducted more than 500 free camps across Chennai — with District Collectors, IPS officers and High Court judges lending their support — released its own magazine, convened the city’s 1st Foot Reflexology Awareness Conference, and now runs five NASD-approved diploma programmes.

Four commitments that guide every camp, class and consultation
Service first
Treatment should never depend on the ability to pay. Over 500 camps have been conducted free of cost.
Drug-free healing
We work with the body’s own systems — meridians, reflexes, breath — without chemicals or side effects.
Skill for all
Homemakers, retirees and youth become certified practitioners through NASD-approved diplomas.
Awareness
Seminars, conferences and publications that bring reflexology and acupressure into public understanding.
The people behind the trust
A small, committed team of practitioners and administrators.
