What
is Reflexology and how does it work?
Reflexology is a modern Western therapy in which pressure is applied to
distinct areas of the feet.
It is a
gentle art, a fascinating science and an extremely effective form of
therapeutic foot massage that has carved an impressive niche in the field of
alternative/complementary medicine. It is a science because it is based on
physiological and neurological study but it is an art because much depends
on how skillfully the practitioner applies his or her knowledge.
What does reflexology do for the person receiving treatment?
When the body is out of balance it is not functioning efficiently. By
working the reflexes on the feet, an involuntary response is elicited in
organs and glands connected by energy pathways to these specific reflexes.
This sets a chain reaction in motion, which causes physiological changes to
occur throughout the body systems.
Who can benefit from treatments?
Anyone can benefit from reflexology treatments; however, treatment will not
be carried out if you are currently suffering from DVT, internal bleeding,
or pregnancy in the first trimester or with a history of unstable pregnancy.
The effects of Reflexology may not remove the cause of diseases, but the
person can be made more comfortable and the symptoms bearable. It may
significantly improve the patient’s general condition, activate excretory
organs, normalise the respiratory system and assist in better control of the
bladder and bowels. In this way, reflexology treatments can improve quality
of life.
Reflexologists
do not diagnose, treat a specific disease or illness, interfere with or
prescribe medication. If you have a specific medical problem or complaint,
you are advised to seek professional medical help. You should also discuss
any problems or complaints with the therapist if you are unsure whether or
not to continue with treatment for whatever reason.
I have read
and understand the above and am receiving treatment at my own request.
