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 - What Are The Differences Between Reflexology And Massage?

Answer - Massage deals with touch all over the body with major emphasis on muscular, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Reflexology, by working on complete reflex maps on the feet, hands and outer ears, not only helps the muscular, circulatory and lymphatic systems, but also profoundly effects the inside of the body, such as everything inside the head, inside the neck, inside the chest and inside the abdomen. In reflexology only footwear is removed with the client otherwise staying fully clothed.

LARYNGITIS is an acute infectious illness of the larynx which often spreads to other parts of the throat and sometimes the ear. The infection causes hoarseness, swelling and pain in the throat and often results in a complete loss of voice.

Davidwas a dental surgeon who, for the last two and a half years, had repeated episodes of laryngitis which often lasted for several weeks. He said he had suffered many throat infections as a child. There was no real pattern to these attacks apart from the fact that his voice was reasonably normal, although a little husky, in the mornings and became increasingly huskier and weaker as the day progressed. He was a very conscientious man, a perfectionist in his work and had worked very hard to build up his successful practice.

He had gone through the usual routine examinations with an ear, nose and throat specialist but nothing abnormal had been discovered.

The courses of antibiotics, which he had resorted to in a desperate attempt to improve his condition, gave him very little relief. His doctor had referred him for allergy testing wondering if there was something he was using in his work that was affecting his throat, particularly in view of the fact that the condition improved once he was away from his practice. The only time his voice returned to near normal was when he took his twice-yearly holiday.

There was considerable sensitivity in his throat and neck area; in fact, the whole shoulder, thoracic spine and head areas were acutely sensitive to even the lightest pressure, and the diaphragm and solar plexus revealed a strong reaction. The most acutely sensitive areas however, were his adrenal glands. 'What on earth have my adrenal glands got to do with my throat condition?' he asked.

A very accurate picture was emerging of a sensitive, conscientious, hard-working dentist who was under considerable pressure, and his body was indeed in a tense condition, which was why his adrenal glands were so sensitive. His shoulder, neck and thoracic spine were reacting and this, in the main, would have been due to hours of standing over patients in rather fixed position.

His body was reacting to stress by a loss of voice. After explaining the situation to Simon, he tended to agree with my findings. He attended for treatments on a twice-weekly basis, although he was reluctant at first to agree to two treatments a week because of his heavy workload. However he did agree that really his health came first and if Reflexology could sort out his repeated laryngitis then he would be overjoyed. Davidattended for two months and had eight treatments in all. There was a remarkable change in his condition within the first three treatments and after two months his voice was nearly back to normal.

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
