Reflexology for Back & Joint Pain
As our bodies age our chances of suffering from long term joint and back pain increases.
According to research by the British Pain Society chronic pain affects more than two fifths of the UK population. This means that around 28 million adults are living with pain that has lasted for more than 12 weeks.
In 2014, an audit of British physiotherapists found that reflexology was effective at reducing pain and inducing relaxation in people with chronic pain.
What to Expect
The whole of the skeletal system on the feet will be worked, firstly to relieve painful symptoms, but also to work on areas that may be aggravating the problem.
Direct pressure on the skeletal reflexes will help relieve pain, while working on the adrenal glands will relieve any inflammation which will also result in pain relief. A combination of this kind of treatment coupled with gentle exercises can help resolve many back problems quite quickly. Reflexology also increases circulation and boosts the immune system, both of which will help the healing process and speed up recovery, along with preventing recurrence of the original complaint.
