There's help and relief available.
🦴 WORLD OSTEOPOROSIS DAY – 20th OCTOBER
Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide, often silently. While medical treatments, nutrition, and exercise are the cornerstones of bone health, complementary therapies like reflexology can offer gentle support along the way.
✨ What is reflexology?
Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific zones on the feet, hands, face or ears, believed to correspond to different parts of the body. This can help relax the nervous system, encourage circulation, and support overall wellbeing.
Why it may help people with osteoporosis:
• Boosts blood and lymph flow to support nutrient delivery to bones
• Promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress hormones
• May help manage pain, stiffness, or discomfort
• Encourages better sleep and overall wellbeing
⚠️ Important: Reflexology does not rebuild bone density or replace medical treatment. Always speak to your healthcare team before starting any new therapy, especially if you have fractures or recent surgeries.
