A while ago this post, and thank you Dr Carole Samuels for all the research you are doing.

People who had the therapy experienced 40 per cent less pain and were able to stand pain for about 45 per cent longer, say University of Portsmouth researchers.

Reflexology is simple yet profound
It is an ancient holistic non-invasive healing treatment which is practiced throughout the world. By using specific techniques on the feet and hands, it helps to stimulate your body’s own healing process to restore balance allowing you to achieve physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Dating back to 2300BC, this relaxing and powerful therapy has stood the test of time and Dr Carole Samuels has recently proven it to be as effective as pain killers.
I have a treatment room beside our home between Alton and Odiham. Cosy up on a day like today for an energy booster. PM me or call on 07939 505727 and we can arrange a time to suit you.

A pilot study of parents' experiences of reflexology treatment for infants with colic in Finland.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Many infants under 4 months suffer from infantile colic. Infants with colic cry a lot, appear to be in pain, and it is difficult to sooth them. Colic is a painful condition for the infant and very stressful to parents. Parents in Finland get advice to try reflexology treatment for their infant, but there are no studies in Finland to support this advice.

AIM:
The aim of the pilot study was to treat infants with reflexology and find out parents' experiences of the effects of the treatment on colic symptoms and parental stress.

METHOD:
A total of 33 parents of 35 infants diagnosed with colic participated to the pilot study. Three certified reflexologists with health care education background and extensive experience in infant reflexology were trained to give the reflexology treatment in a standardised manner. They treated each infant 3-4 times. The whole body reflexology treatment session consisted of gentle pressure treatment of soles and feet, hands, head, face, ears, back, neck and whole stomach area. One treatment session lasted about 20-30 seconds, and treatments were delivered within 8-12 days. The data were collected from the parents with semi-structured questionnaires.

RESULTS:
The series of the treatments helped reduce the suffering of all the babies with infant colic. The colic symptoms disappeared on 43% of infants and decreased on the remaining 57%. The parents reported having pleasant experiences with the treatment, regardless whether the colic symptoms disappeared or continued. Parents stated that the treatment reduced the most typical colic symptoms; infants' body tension, colic crying and restless movements, poor sleep quality and irregular bowel movements.

CONCLUSIONS:
Reflexology treatment seems to be a safe and effective way to treat infants with colic when conducted by a health care professional with reflexology training and experience.
