REFLEXOLOGY
Just about everyone from tiny babies to the very elderly benefit from Reflexology.
Reflexology is a science based on the proven principle that reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears relate to the internal organs and other structures of the body. Pressure is applied to these reflex areas to bring health and balance to the body. A recent University of Minnesota study of world research into Reflexology found that Reflexology may:
- Impact specific organs – for example, MRI readings demonstrated an increase in blood flow to kidneys and to the intestines.
- Improve symptoms – in particular, positive changes were noted in kidney functioning with kidney dialysis patients.
- Induce relaxation – though EEG measurements of alpha and theta waves, researchers saw that blood pressure was decreased, and anxiety was lowered.
- Reduce pain – 27 studies demonstrated a positive outcome for reduction in pain, e.g. AIDS, chest pain, peripheral neuropathy of diabetes mellitus, kidney stones, and osteoarthritis.

Reflexology is an ideal complement to massage and other tactile therapies as well as nursing. It is one of the few natural therapies to be adopted by the nursing profession, and is used in palliative care, midwifery and aged care. For example: Professional Reflexology is offered to patients at the Chris O’Brien Life house Centre ( http://www.mylifehouse.org.au/) to complement their treatments for Cancer patients. Also reflexology is offered during the birthing process at Gosford Hospital to help alleviate pain.
