Reflexology in your area 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. ================================================ Reflexology Practitioners here shortly 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. Reflexology West LondonCase Studies in Reflexology

Ann Gillanders Helen - Irritable Bowel Syndrome:
Reflexology and the Intestinal Link
The Joy of Reflexology Food is said to be responsible for one-third of cases, but X-ray fails to reveal evidence. Prostaglandins are implicated. Females are far more susceptible than males. Cow's milk and antigens in beef can precipitate the condition. The two main symptoms are abdominal pain and altered bowel habit. Pain is usually relieved on opening the bowels or on passing wind. Diarrhoea with watery stools may alternate with constipation and a sensation that the bowel is incompletely emptied. There is flatulence and passing of mucous between stools. The chronic condition may cause weight loss and poor health, calling for treatment of the underlying condition. Sufferers are usually hard-striving perfectionists who find it difficult to relax. It is said that men express their dis-ease by experiencing duodenal or stomach ulceration which is common in mentalities as described above. Helen came to me in a very stressed state. She was only 42 but looked far older. Her life had been very complicated and sad for the previous four years. Her marriage had failed, resulting in a divorce, and she was having quite a time in trying to hold down a job as a sister-in-charge of the accident and emergency department at her local hospital. She had two children in her care, a boy of thirteen and a daughter of ten. Her son in particular was very difficult to manage following her divorce and seemed to blame her for the breakdown of the marriage. Finances were strained, as Helen was trying to maintain the family home and had a mortgage to pay and all the usual expenses of running a home, car and family. She frequently worked extra shifts at the hospital when money became short, and now, just to add to these problems, she had irritable bowel syndrome. It had become so bad that the attacks of diarrhoea in the morning, when they were at their worst, were embarrassing, to say the least. She experienced quite excruciating pain on her left side, which was the descending part of the colon. The frequent bowel actions had caused haemorrhoids, so now sitting was painful and she was nearly at the end of her tether. She had had numerous bowel function tests at the hospital and various medications from the doctor, so I knew that nothing sinister was underlying. It is always essential when a patient presents with alarming symptoms such as she had that all possibilities of a severe disease are eliminated. Remember, doctors have access to all forms of X-ray screening devices whereas Reflexologists do not. Helen's feet certainly did tell the tale. The intestinal area was so sensitive that she could hardly bear any pressure on the reflexes, particularly in the descending and sigmoid colon on the left foot. Her stomach and liver reflexes were over-sensitive too, and that poor old solar plexus area again, the great seat of emotions and feelings. Locked in there I am sure were all the hurts and pains of her divorce, the heavy responsibilities of being a single parent, and uncertainty regarding her future. Apart from her irritable bowel, Helen had such severe pains in her neck, shoulders and the tops of her arms that at times she could hardly hold a shopping bag. People who have a lot of responsibilities and take the problems of the world on their shoulders frequently suffer arm and shoulder pains – you know, rather like the milkmaid carrying a yoke, heavy weights across the shoulders! Always remember, the arms and hands are the wings of the heart, they encircle your heart, so heavy emotional burdens affecting your innermost feelings affect your arms and hands – your wings! It was quite hard to know where to start. You can't say, 'Why don't you change your job, let somebody else have your children for a while, have a break?' All those things were impossible. Having somebody to talk to who understood helped immensely. Reflexology did the rest. Reflexology West LondonReflexology SchoolsReflexology Schools teach reflexology therapy, (an ancient art practiced by
early Egyptians) and the science founded on the basis that areas of the feet,
hands and ears are comprised of zones and reflex areas (which correspond to all
glands, organs, and bodily systems). Reflexology schools instruct a therapeutic
technique whereby pressure is applied to these reflex areas. Through reflexology
school training, students are taught to reduce stress by using thumb, finger and
hand methods. Reflexology ...
