I have decided to write a piece about how Reflexology can assist in Good Health and Wellbeing, as it occurred to me that often people only come in for treatment when suffering specific symptoms.
It is often only when someone develops symptoms, that taking care of health is considered. Certainly in my day, nothing was taught about keeping ourselves well, and in good health. Looking back in history, doctors in China, were paid a retainer, to keep their patients healthy, what a marvellous idea that was.
It is clear that we must take responsibility for our own health. Looking at the nutritional value of the foods we eat, keeping away from sugar, and highly processed foods, is a great place to start. Exercise is important, whether that be walking, cycling or going to the gym. Movement, fresh air and good food are vitally important to keep healthy.
Good health is about far more than the absence of disease, it is about being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually well balanced.
So how can Reflexology help?
Reflexology assists a person to remain in good health, as well as helping, when symptoms arise.
I will keep my explanation of how Reflexology works as brief as possible here, however far more detailed information is available on the Treatment page of my website.
There are over 7,000 nerve endings on each foot (reflex points) that correspond to the organs and systems of the body. By stimulating these reflex points with specific pressure techniques Reflexology can assist in keeping the body in balance. It also helps with circulation and elimination of toxins.
Having regular (depending on each individuals needs) Reflexology sessions can help with:
Sleep problems
Stress and Anxiety
Improve circulation
Headaches and Migraines
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
And improve Energy Levels, to name but a few.
Now we are at the start of a new year, it's a great time to take a look at our general health and if needed, start a new regime.
