are available in the clinic or in the client's home This therapy can be traced
back over 4,500 years to the time of the pharaohs. There is a mural on the wall
of a tomb for an Egyptian physician depicting the practice of Reflexology. It
seems to have grown up independently in nearly all the major cultures across the
globe. Reflexology treats the
whole person and not just the symptoms of disease. It helps to induce a state of
homeostasis (balance). The body has an innate knowledge of where imbalance lies
and what is necessary to correct it. An example of this is if blood pressure is
low it will encourage it to rise and if it is high it will help to lower it. Reflexology is a catalyst
to the body’s own healing mechanism. It is known to relieve a wide range of
both acute and chronic conditions and is suitable for all ages. This does not
just apply to physical conditions but also emotional well-being. Clients can
find relief from stress, depression, grief and loss of control. Reflexology is deeply
relaxing; special thumb and finger techniques are used to stimulate areas called
reflexes in the feet accessing specific areas of the body such as organs and
limbs. In recent years Reflexology has been introduced into many GP practices and hospitals as an effective enhancement to allopathic treatment. Some of the many benefits of Reflexology are Improved fertility and hormone balance Reduced requirement for medication (under medical supervision) Improvement of skin conditions Improvement in digestive function Reduction in stress levels Clearer thinking and improved concentration Improved posture Improved life balance |
