The feet hands and ears are microcosms of the body reflecting the entire body - all glands and organs. By applying pressure with the specific thumb and finger techniques, Reflexology will reduce tension, promote relaxation, increase circulation and bring the body back to balance/homeostasis.

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style in which the floor bases poses are rested in for two to five minutes allowing for a gentle, deep stretch. You will have the option of using props to support the body in any of the poses. The purpose of this yoga style is to apply moderate stress to the connective tissue - the tendons, fascia and ligaments - with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Beginners to yoga practice are welcome.
Reflexology is a science and art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands ears & face.

Ahead of 2022 (4 February) we are sharing a clinical trial study from Zahedan, Iran on The effects of foot reflexology on pain and physiological indicators in children with leukaemia under chemotherapy.

The theme of this year’s World Cancer Day campaign is ‘Close the Care Gap’ highlighting the inequities in cancer care across the world that cost lives. The aim is to raise awareness that ‘income, education, location, orientation, age, disability and lifestyle can negatively affect care”.

This clinical trial study was performed on 80 school-age children (aged 6–12 years) with leukaemia admitted to the haematology ward of a teaching hospital in Zahedan, Iran from February 1, 2020, to December 20, 2020.  The inclusion criteria were as follows: leukaemia and prior IT (intrathecal injection) administration of chemotherapy.

Method: This clinical trial included 80 children with leukaemia. The participants received 20 min foot reflexology (10 min each foot). The primary measured outcomes included pain and physiological indicators (blood pressure and heart rate).

Results: The results showed that foot reflexology had a significant effect on reducing pain (p = 0.002) and improving physiological indicators [blood pressure (p = 0.002) and heart rate (p = 0.003)].

Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that reflexology, as a method of distraction in children, could reduce pain during IT and was effective on physiological parameters after IT. Therefore, this method should be implemented as a low-cost intervention by nurses and other health groups to reduce pain during IT procedures.

World Arthritis Day

Did you know there are 5 common types of arthritis and over 150 different kinds of arthritis and related conditions?

As a professional reflexologist, I've seen many clients who have arthritis, from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout and more.

I am thrilled when clients tell me after their reflexology session that their pain is reduced and they sleep better... and they will be adding reflexology to their arthritis management plan.

The research is just a bonus to what my clients and I already know. 😉
