REFLEXOLOGY - RELIEF IN YOUR HANDS

           

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a claim that such actions effect physical changes to the body.

How can reflexology help me?

Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.

Reflexology has been shown to be effective for: 

  • Back Pain
  • Migraine
  • Infertility
  • Arthritis
  • Sleep disorders
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Sports injuries
  • Digestive disorders
  • Stress-related conditions

However reflexology does not claim to cure any specific illness or malady.

Who can benefit from reflexology? 

Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. After you have completed a course of treatment from a suitably qualified Reflexologist for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain health and well-being.

While many people use reflexology as a way of relaxing the mind and body and counteracting stress, at the same time many doctors, consultants and other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy.

For Fibromyalgia sufferers the first step is to research the subject more and discuss with your medical advisors and carers to see if reflexology is appropriate for you to try.

You can find trained and qualified Reflexologists near you via the links below or via Yellow Pages. Most towns and cities have at least one.
