How does Reflexology work, can it help me?
There are many theories as to how Reflexology works but the nervous system holds the key. Reflexology is a gentle therapy that relieves tension and clears blockages by stimulating sensory receptors in the nerve fibres of the foot, producing energy that branches to the spinal cord where it is dispersed throughout the entire nervous system.
It relaxes the body, thereby reducing any constriction of blood vessels and improving circulation, which helps to break up and dissolve crystal deposits caused by an excess of uric acid, which has built up in the body and settled in the feet.
During a Reflexology treatment, endorphins are released into the bloodstream, easing aches and pains, promoting a feeling of deep relaxation and balance in those treated.
Reflexology helps restore and maintain the bodies' natural equilibrium and encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. Reflexology has been shown to be effective for:
• Back Pain
• Migraine headaches
• Infertility
• Arthritis
• Sleep disorders
• Hormonal imbalances
• Sports injuries
• Digestive disorders
• Stress-related conditions
Reflexology is also being used to help lower back pain relief, muliple sclerosis treatment and is a great natural stress relief. Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care and is not a replacement to medical help.
