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.

Case Studies in Reflexology by Ann Gillanders

Jeff - Diabetes: 

Gateways to Health and Harmony with Reflexology        Reflexology

DIABETES MELLITUS (Mellis means sweet: Greek) occurs as a result of diminution or absence of insulin supplied by the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans.

Jeff was in his sixties when he came to me having suffered from diabetes for many years. His diabetes had been very difficult to control all his life, and he had suffered as a result arterial corrosion of the eyes and the kidneys. He had also had two mild heart attacks. At the time of coming to see me his main problem was an inability to walk any great distance because of intermittent claudication in his legs, which meant that after very short periods of walking he had cramp-like seizures in his calf muscles which made him have to stop whatever he was doing. The main sensitivities which appeared in the feet were in the eyes, kidneys, heart and groin areas. This indicated the arteriosclerosis that he suffered due to the diabetes.

He was constantly exhausted and had a very restricted lifestyle, although he did take quite an interest in his engineering company, which he had built up over 30 years. He was treated very regularly over a period of eight weeks with hardly any results, which made me feel that perhaps this treatment was going to be of little support for him. However, he was insistent on continuing, and I am so pleased that he did because on the ninth treatment he suffered quite a severe reaction to the treatment.

An angry rash appeared all over his body. He had excessive bowel actions, which was most unusual for him as normally he suffered from constipation and had to rely on laxatives to help any bowel action. After this rather major cleansing of the system he began to make great strides. The main benefit he achieved was the ability to walk distances; the breathless condition which resulted from his mild heart attacks improved considerably; and he was able to take an interest in jobs in the garden which previously had been completely out of the question. Jeff was very impressed by the benefits of Reflexology and after three months (12 treatments carried out consistently on a weekly basis) his improvement was so marked that he suggested that he would like to come to have a regular Reflexology treatment every fortnight. This he did and he lived for another nine years, constantly having Reflexology; he described it as his life support.

During the nine years of treatment from me he hardly ever had a problem with maintaining his insulin (blood sugar) levels, which was very encouraging as previously he had had no end of increases and then decreases in his insulin injections in an attempt to try to control his very difficult condition.

Jeff was a fine man. He was over-generous to all who came his way, was loved by all members of his staff and family, and when he died (he did in fact die of kidney failure), he left a large sum of money to the Diabetic Trust.

The eye reflexes were sensitive in both feet.

The kidneys were also very painful.

The damage to the heart was apparent from the reaction in the heart reflex area.

Congestion in the groin area revealed the congestion in the arteries which caused the cramp-like seizures in his legs (intermittent claudication).

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
