How Reflexology Can Help You

Reflexology
Reflexology can help alleviate various physical and emotional conditions by stimulating the nervous and circulatory systems. These conditions include:
By triggering the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest” mode), reflexology lowers your cortisol levels and induces a state of calm. It is only when your body reaches a state of calm that it has the ability to heal itself at all levels.
Thanks to reflexology, my clients experience renewed energy and clarity as they go about their busy everyday lives, and in turn are better equipped to face life’s challenges as they arise.
Reflexology activates your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, shifting it from a “fight or flight” stress response to a “rest and digest” state. In this way, tension, anxiety and overthinking are reduced – this helps you fall asleep faster and improves the overall quality of your rest.
Many clients say that they sleep like a baby after a reflexology session, and that the quality of their sleep persistently improves over time with consistent sessions.
Reflexology eases pain relating to many conditions by promoting the release of the body’s natural painkiller, endorphins. Conditions include (but are not limited to) premenstrual syndrome, migraines, arthritis, back issues and fibromyalgia.
Reflexology boosts your immunity by reducing stress, improving circulation and stimulating your lymphatic system, which helps your body remove toxins and fight infection. Therefore, reflexology can be very helpful after a period of sickness that has left you feeling tired and vulnerable physically. Reflexology also acts as a supportive therapy to help maintain vitality and wellbeing during the colder months of the year.
Digestive Support: Stimulating reflex points linked to the stomach and intestines can relieve common issues that you may experience like bloating, indigestion and constipation.
Fertility Support: Reflexology supports your fertility journey by reducing stress, balancing hormones and enhancing blood circulation to the reproductive organs, thus creating an optimal environment for conception. It is often used before couples even begin trying for a baby aswell as during the period of trying naturally. It is also frequently used to complement assisted treatments such as IVF.
Being pregnant can be joyful and scary in equal measures, not to mention the feeling of exhaustion at various stages throughout. Reflexology provides a supportive backdrop to your pregnancy journey by promoting deep relaxation, improved sleep quality, hormone re-balancing and the easing of physical discomforts like morning sickness, heartburn, back pain and swelling. Reflexology also helps to prepare your body for labor by effectively supporting the endocrine system.
Reflexology is frequently used to manage emotional fluctuations and the many other symptoms relating to premenstrual syndrome, perimenopause and menopause. My clients experience improvements in symptoms relating to polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis – these conditions can be quite debilitating from a daily functioning perspective and reflexology provides a consistent and supportive backdrop to managing life on an ongoing basis.
While it cannot cure disease, reflexology is a trusted complementary therapy for many illnesses such as cancer and multiple sclerosis – it helps patients to effectively manage side effects like nausea, fatigue and neuropathy. My clients benefit from reflexology’s deep nurturing and relaxation while undergoing and recovering from cancer treatment – reflexology boosts the body’s innate healing abilities and provides reassuring support at such a vulnerable time in one’s life.
