It's marathon season and best of luck to all those running/walking on Sunday in Belfast! Here are some ways that reflexology can help anyone who takes part in any sports. The main ways in which reflexology can help sports people:
Removing Lactic Acid. Reflexology can help remove lactic acid from the legs four times faster than massage thereby helping painful legs following high-impact sports.
Reducing Pain. Reflexology can help reduce pain often experienced from sports injuries such as knee pain, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, hypermobility or neuroma. As reflexology is a natural, non-intrusive therapy it is ideal for anyone who wish to avoid the use of medication. It can also help clients to avoid surgery or reduce the recovery time post-surgery.
Increasing Blood Circulation to Injured area. Reflexology helps to boost blood flow and circulation bringing nutrients, water, oxygen and all essential materials to an injured area, helping it to mend. It also helps to expel waste and toxins from the body quicker. Through improving circulation, reflexology can aid relief from, as well as helping to prevent, injuries such as cramps and spasms.
Managing Inflammation. Some inflammation is necessary to help protect an injured area. However, sometimes too much physical activity and exertion can actually lead to chronic inflammation or a stress response resulting in further medical issues. Reflexology can help manage inflammation and ensure that the body does not reach this stage. There are many more benefits to reflexology! If you wish to get an appointment message me here
