Among a wide range of alternative natural healing therapies remedies, reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the hands and feet. The practice of reflexology is anchored on the premise that there are "reflex" portions on the hands and feet that correspond to certain body organs, glands and other areas in the body. For instance:
- Around the ball of the foot is the heart and chest
- At the tips of the toes is the head
- Towards the heel are the intestines and lower back
- In the arch of the foot are the kidney, pancreas and the liver
It is perceived that specific portions on the hands and feet are associated to other parts and organs of the human body. This philosophy was supported by a physiotherapist by the name of Eunice Ingham into the recent practice of reflexology.
Practitioners of reflexology believe that the application of pressure to these so called reflex areas can stimulate the overall health of the corresponding organs through energetic pathways.
It was an ear, nose and throat physician by the name of Dr. William Fritzgerald who introduced in 1958 the concept of "zone therapy". During the year of 1930's, an American physiotherapist by the name of Eunice Ingram, further developed the concept of zone theory into what is known today as reflexology.
The scientific explanation behind the idea is that a pressure applied to these reflex areas may transmit signals that harmonizes the nervous system or promote the release of substances such as endorphins that may lessen stress and pain.
Majority of people views reflexology for the most part to be very relaxing. The technique is intended to be virtually pain-free. A patient experiencing any discomfort must immediately notify the attending reflexologist. The attending reflexologist must be able to work within the patient's comfort zone.
Many people feel calm and relaxed after a reflexology procedure, some may even fall asleep. People undergo reflexology due to different reasons. These reasons may include:
- Sports injuries
- Insomnia
- Digestive disorders
- Stress and other related conditions
- Hormonal imbalances
- Back pain
- Menstrual disorders such as premenstrual syndrome
- Arthritis
- Tension headaches
- Constipation and other digestive problems
Reflexology is a well-known form of alternative therapy. It encourages relaxation, lessens pain, promotes overall healing, enhances circulation and soothes tired feet. The practice of reflexology is also utilized for palliative or post-operative care. A recent research published in the American Cancer Society journal suggests that one-third of patients suffering from cancer utilized reflexology as a form of complementary therapy.
There are also some precautions that should be considered when it comes to reflexology. A pregnant woman must talk with a licensed doctor first and notify the reflexologist prior to the treatment. Be certain to provide the reflexologist a comprehensive and accurate medical history. If you are suffering from an injury, ulcers or blood vessel ailments such as blood clots, it is suggested to talk with a doctor first prior to undergoing reflexology.
