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

Arthur - Frozen Shoulder: 

Reflexology for Back Pain    The Family Guide to Reflexology

Arthur contacted me. He needed an urgent appointment, as the pain and disability in his shoulders was so intense that he was not able to sleep at night. Although only 38 years old, he said that he walked about like an old man of 80.

There seemed to be little reason for his shoulder restriction. He had been married for a couple of years and had just had his first child and his work did not involve any heavy physical lifting. His job was demanding. As a computer programmer for a large company he sat for hours in front of a screen and the more he worked throughout the day, the more his pain and discomfort increased.

His doctor had treated the problem initially with pain-killing tablets, and because the condition failed to improve he then had two cortisone injections. He described the pain of these injections as 'agonising' and initially had some relief but six months later he was back to square one. The sensitivity in his shoulder reflexes were extreme, his thoracic spine and neck also revealed a lot of tension and inflammation.

After his first treatment he reported that in fact the condition seemed worse. I reassured him that this was not unusual; often the condition gets a little worse before it gets much better following a treatment of Reflexology, particularly the first one.

Arthur attended for his weekly appointments and very gradually an improvement began. First and foremost, his pain levels decreased and then gradually he was able to raise his arms a little more each week.

As we got to know each other he said that he had found the responsibilities of marriage, a mortgage and a new baby rather a strain and he did constantly worry about his job security and so on.  I explained that the shoulders are traditionally where we 'shoulder our responsibilities'. Tense shoulders often mean that we are carrying too many burdens. Our shoulders get painful and rigid when we are not expressing our real needs, when perhaps we are doing something that we would rather not be doing.

He said he was scared of sharing these insecurities with his wife in case she felt that he was a bit weak and watery.

Maybe the acceptance of the cause of his condition helped admirably but after eight sessions of Reflexology his shoulder condition became a thing of the past. Arthur still comes back from time to time. He says that when he feels like 'the milkmaid carrying her yoke' he rings for another appointment.

Reflexology

Reflexology, an ancient art practiced by early Egyptians. Reflexology is 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 is a technique whereby pressure is applied to these areas resulting in stress reduction by using thumb, finger and hand methods. Using reflexology promotes physiological improvements in the body. (For more information on reflexology, be sure to... Reflexology
