Benefits of Reflexology

One of the Alternative Health and medical healing services here at Holistic & Intuitive massage and bodywork is reflexology.

In fact, this practice has been scientifically shown to have a lot of benefits for our bodies. Research has shown the specific techniques of reflexology have a positive impact on our bodies - both physically and psychologically.

Probably the best benefit of reflexology is that it will help create relaxation. That is, from the moment the reflexologists hands start their work, the relaxation begins - shown in research using EEG brain activity. 

Reflexology is also shown to reduce pain in our bodies whilst improving blood flow - especially in areas in our feet, brain, kidneys and intestines.

In a lot of cases, we can use this holistic method to aid ourselves in post-operative recovery. Reflexology will work wonders - aiding us in the recovery process after surgery - shown by several studies. It will help reduce pain and lessening the use of post operative analgesics.

It can also be used to enhance medical care - such as help for phantom limb pain sufferers, neuropathy patients, and hemodialysis patients to name a few.

In general terms, the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body, they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.
