WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY?

Just about everyone from tiny babies to the very elderly benefit from reflexology.  It is not just for helping the sick become well; it is all about being pro-active by maintaining health and keeping the body in the best possible condition.

The reflexology treatment is very safe and non-invasive that sessions every day would be tolerated by anyone and beneficial to everyone.  From the pro-athlete to the terminally ill all benefit profoundly!

BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY – brings improvement to:

SKIN DISORDERS
Most have origin in the digestive system, caused by allergies to food, or sensitivities to external environmental factors.  Regular Reflexology treatments can strengthen the digestive system, improve elimination (reducing toxins) and relax the entire body, thus improving the condition of the skin.

DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
Conditions most improved are; indigestion, constipation (and intestinal problems) and food allergies.

Reflexology strengthens the digestive system allowing inflammation and congestion to be reduced, initially caused by a reaction to certain foods.  Once the system is healed, excessive mucus production is eliminated.

RESPIRATORY DISORDERS
Conditions most improved are; bronchitis, asthma, emphysema and respiratory tract infections. Reflexology addresses the underlying causes of respiratory diseases and treats the lungs directly as well as digestive areas.  There is a strong link between digestive and respiratory systems  since mucus membranes line both, when one is effected so is the other.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Reflexology supports the post operative care of heart attack patients and helps to arrest the symptoms of; angina and irregular heart beat and stroke victims.  It is imperative that treatment is given to stroke victims as soon as possible after their stroke and on a daily basis to achieve maximum benefit.

All forms of circulatory problems can be improved.  Do you find you suffer from cold feet and hands?  Then this treatment is ideal for you.  Also, anyone diagnosed with diabetes can greatly benefit from this treatment.

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Reflexology aids this system by eliminating excess fluid from the body, especially the legs, feet, fingers and hands.  This may be resultant from a long periods of sitting immobile as seen in long plane or car rides.  Post mastectomy patients that experience pain and swelling due to the removal of their lymph nodes gain relief and find a reduction in their over-all anxiety levels.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Stress is very much linked to this system.  These conditions may be expressed as; migraines, indigestion, angina, colitis, asthma and back pain.  Reflexology relieves these stress related problems.  And when tension is relieved, the immune system is no longer depressed.

SOLAR PLEXUS
The solar plexus is a grouping together of nerves that lie behind the stomach.  It is the seat of emotions and is a good indicator of ones emotional health.  Reflexology creates a feeling of well-being when this area is worked and has a profound relaxing effect on the body.  In Eastern modalities, such as Reiki, this is the Chakra that is the energy centre of the body and one of the 7 meridians.  This will be further explored in the Reiki section.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
The conditions most improved, if treatment is administered in the early stages of onset are; Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.  In Reflexology, the brain and central nervous system are probably the most important areas to work.  A short treatment will aid in reducing tiredness, headaches and even menstrual cramps.  The entire body can be stimulated by addressing these areas.

EAR, EYE AND SINUS DISORDERS
Conditions that Reflexology helps are:   Tinnitus (ringing in the ears), tired and strained eyes; Conjunctivitis; ear, nose and throat conditions in children; Sinusitis; Neuralgia or other forms of facial pain; and tooth and jaw pain.  Please note that when tooth pain is involved Reflexology can give temporary relief until a Dentist is consulted for further treatment.

MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Conditions treated are:  Lumbago, Arthritis of the cervical spine, chronic neck inflammations, Sciatica and Whiplash injuries. 

Reflexology can help to decrease the discomfort, ease the inflammation and bring joint function back to normalcy.  In advanced cases of degeneration improvement may be limited; however reduction of pain, and stiffness and improvement in the quality of life will be noticed.

URINARY SYSTEM
Conditions treated are:  Bladder infections, urinary incontinence and kidney problems.
Reflexology relieves these conditions by stimulating the whole pelvic cavity which in turn improves the nerve and blood supply to the urinary system.  When toxins are eliminated and tension is broken down, the healing process begins.  With the stress taken off of the kidneys, blood pressure is lowered.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Conditions helped are:  Menopause, ovulation pain, ovarian cysts (in early stages), PMS (imbalances in the hormonal system are normalized), Infertility and irregular and painful menstrual cycles.

Reflexology helps to relax the entire body and in doing so stress is reduced and the body, in both men and women, provides the perfect breeding ground.
