What Reflexology Is Not

Jul8

To understand reflexology, you really need to experience it.  You cannot accurately describe it. Perspective clients sometime have questions.

Will reflexology heal me? No, not directly and I suggest being aware of someone with wild claims.  Healing comes from God and many tools may be used by Him. In Tennessee, reflexology is listed as a relaxation technique. I work all the body reflexes to help relax you. God is healer; I am just a catalyst.

Stress is a co-factor in many illnesses. Breaking that cycle helps with pain control and supports healing. I have seen great support from reflexology from sciatic pain to complementing cancer therapy.

Isn’t reflexology just foot massage? Not at all.  Reflexology has its own history, methods and training. In Tennessee, we are registered and completely separate under the law. Reflexology is not a foot rub but very specific movements on each foot. Your body maps out on your feet and reflexology address  this incredible gift.

Like I stated, YOU need to experience reflexology for yourself. Call for an appointment or drop by Wednesday at Sunflower Health

Depression and Reflexology

Aug19

Brian J. Mickey, M.D., PhD, discusses ” The Root of Your Depression”  in esperanza magazine. The synopsis is sorta like this. While this is a complex problem, the major roots of depression are life events, negative perception and neurological processes.

Situational depression can be anything that causes stress like the death of a loved one or loss of a job. Negative perception is when one appraises a situation as bad, even though others do not see it that way. Genetics and environment can influence this. One example of this is childhood abuse. These can often be helped by counseling and stress reduction techniques like Reflexology.  The last one, neurological processes, brain function, may need medication as well as life changes. Most often, it is a combination of all three–a situation triggers the other two.

I love this quote:

” Our human capacities to recognize, accept, and act on our on behalf are our greatest strengths in coping when illness strikes.”
