What is Reflexology?

Sometimes called zone therapy, Reflexology is a therapy or treatment where nerve endings in the hands or feet are stimulated by applying varying degrees of pressure in a  massage-like technique to bring about changes in elsewhere in the body in order to improve health and assist on the bodies self-healing process.

Reflexology treatment will often take an hour or more and six to eight  sessions are generally a good idea. A trained reflexologist will usually take a medical case history at your first appointment. Reflexology is traditionally done with the feet although it may be done with the hands. 

Reflexology consists of gentle, but firm, compression  to  your feet sometimes with talcum powder but not oil.  The reflex points are frequently tiny so the reflexologist will be very precise.  Some parts of the feet will feel  tender and this often relates to areas in the body where pain is felt. Some reflexologists will  train you to treat yourself at home by showing you where to press.

Question - Was Reflexology Discovered in Egypt?

Answer - An Egyptian pictograph showing someone working on someone else's hands and feet is a clear indication that something of significance was happening to the feet and hands. A number of specialists in Egyptology have indicated that the action depicted is the prelude to surgery.

Case Studies in Reflexology by Ann Gillanders

Gaynor - Cystitis:  

The Essential Guide to Foot and Hand Reflexology   Reflexology

CYSTITIS is the inflammation of the bladder, and is usually acute, with scalding pain on the passing of water. It has a rapid onset. The patient feels off-colour. There is pain in the centre, low in the abdomen, which is worse when urine is passed. There is frequently passing of small amounts or merely the sensation of wanting to. Most cases resolve themselves without the need for deep-acting agents.

Bacteria invade when there has been continued irritation such as that of sand or gravel in the urine. Bacillus coli resides in the rectum but may invade the bladder. Urine is often turgid and evil smelling. By travelling down the ureters kidney infection may be conveyed to the lining of the bladder.

A common cause is diuretic indiscretion, such as too much spicy food, curries, peppers, vinegar, coffee, alcohol, tea, too much and too strong cola and other stimulants. Too much meat concentrates urine, as do other high purine foods.

Plenty of fluids should be drunk, either in the form of herbal teas, alfalfa, or bottled waters rather than coffee or tea. These dilute the irritating effect of uric acid in the urine.

Gaynor was a very attractive 24-year-old and came to me with a history of chronic cystitis which had occurred during the last 12 months. The infections caused a lot of low pelvic and back pain. She often had a raised temperature and frequent episodes of passing small amounts of urine during the night, which gave her a very disturbed sleeping pattern.

She seemed an anxious young woman, although on the initial consultation there was no real evidence of the reason for her emotionally stressed state. During the treatment sessions the area of the bladder and pelvic areas were extremely sensitive to pressure; in fact, the slightest pressure gave rise to extreme discomfort in her feet and made the general pressure unacceptable to her.

Gaynor also reported that during the attacks of cystitis she was quite sure that her eyes became affected as they were normally sore, irritating and watery. She had reported this fact to her GP who said that there was no link between cystitis and eye conditions whatsoever. However, when she was introduced to the benefits and understanding of Reflexology, I explained to her how the kidney and eye areas are in the same related areas and it is very common to find when people have bladder inflammations that their corresponding area, the eye, is extremely sensitive and can cause the symptoms of soreness, watering and sensitivity that she described.

Gaynor used to bring her three-year-old son with her, so the treatment sessions were not as relaxed as I would have liked them to be, but she explained that she had nobody to leave her young son with and so it was necessary for him to accompany her in order that she could continue regular Reflexology treatments.

We worked out a rota for a weekly treatment session. I said that in normal situations six sessions should give good, satisfactory relieving results, then maybe the occasional treatment on a monthly basis would be advisable for her.

There was very little improvement until the third session, when she said that she had noticed that she felt generally much calmer and very relaxed after treatment, and in fact the night following the treatment session would give her uninterrupted sleep for eight or nine hours, which was most unusual.

She still suffered a lot of low pelvic discomfort, however, and frequency in her urinary output during the daytime. I asked her to return to her GP for yet another urine check just to make sure that there was nothing underlying. There is sometimes the problem of another associated illness linked to urinary frequency and low pelvic pain. However, after her visit to her GP, who gave her a further examination and tested her urine, he confirmed that she was in fact still suffering from chronic cystitis and recommended yet another course of antibiotics, which she declined. The antibiotics always gave her an intense attack of thrush, therefore she had a dual problem to cope with.

Over the next few weeks there appeared to be a great improvement in her urinary condition but it was not until the eighth treatment that she confided in me that her husband had left her and their young son just a year before for another woman, and it was from this period of time that her first attack of cystitis had occurred.

It often happens that when we have emotional hurts which are very close to our heart our reproductive or urinary areas are most commonly affected, almost as a hurt to our very femininity.

Gaynor was quite sure that her eyes were sensitive and watery during her bouts of cystitis.

I explained to her that the kidney and eye areas are in the same related areas and it is quite common to find an eye problem during bouts of urinary tract disorders.

The kidneys were sensitive, but the bladder was acutely sensitive even when the slightest pressure was applied.

Reflexology Therapy

Reflexology therapy, (an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians), is also a science founded on the basis that areas of the feet, hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas that correspond to all glands, organs, and bodily systems. Reflexology therapy is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using reflexology therapy promotes physiological improvements in the body.
