How Reflexology works and how it can help you.
What is Reflexology?
On the most basic level, Reflexology induces a deep state of relaxation, eliminates toxins and boosts energy.
Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that is based on the theory that there are areas or points across the feet, hands, face and ears, that map via the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body.
These areas or points, called reflexes, can show congestion or tenderness when the respective body area is out of balance. When these reflexes are stimulated, or massaged in a specific way, it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels and helps to restore homeostasis in the whole body.
Reflexology can also improve circulation, lower blood pressure and provide deep relaxation.
Reflexology for pain
Reflexology can be very effective for those clients who are experiencing and living with pain.
Research has shown that within 1 hour of a Reflexology treatment, clients are able to tolerate pain for longer and are better able to cope with their pain.
Because it is non-invasive, it is a safe and effective therapy which works well alongside conventional drug treatments in conditions that are associated with pain.
How it works
Reflexology uses specific techniques of massage and manipulation of the hands or feet to stimulate the body’s natural healing responses and to promote a sense of general wellbeing.
It is thought that Reflexology can provide the conditions which encourage the body’s innate healing ability to bring the body back to homeostasis – this is the level where the body’s systems and energies are all working together in a harmonious and balanced way to support good health.
Reflexologists believe that there are specific reflex points in the hands and feet which correspond to all organs, glands, and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflex areas unblocks nerve impulses and improves blood circulation to leave you feeling physically relaxed and re-energized.
Reflexology treatments also calm and relax the mind thereby reducing stress and anxiety, so you can also use reflexology in conjunction with medicine and drugs as a natural method of pain relief and healing.
Reflexology helps with the following ailments and many others:-
anxiety & stress
back pain
migraine
infertility
arthritis
sleep disorders
depression
cancer pain
menopause
digestive disorders
stress-related conditions
high/low blood pressure
Please bear in mind that reflexolgists do not diagnose or prescribe, nor do we specifically treat particular medical conditions. However, used alongside conventional medical treatment, reflexology can help to mitigate the effects of certain disorders and promote general wellbeing.
Reflexology should not be used as an alternative to seeking conventional medical advice.
