Our Reflexology and Acupuncture Team, Martine and Natalie Vegoda explain how the ancient art of reflexology can be used as an incredibly effectively treatment for stress...
STRESS CAN AFFECT ANYBODY.
[ WORRY, FRUSTRATION,
SHAKING, INSOMNIA………
[ DEPENDING
ON YOUR PERSONALITY, IT IS VERY MUCH AN INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTION.
[ IT IS
HOW YOUR BODY REACTS TO EXTERNAL PRESSURES THAT YOU PERCEIVE TO BE DIFFICULT OR
UNCOMFORTABLE AND IT CAN CREATE BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES.
[ SOME STRESS IS HELPFUL IN HELPING YOU TO PERFORM
AT YOUR BEST BUT STRESS BECOMES A PROBLEM WHEN INSTEAD OF HELPING YOU TO
PERFORM, IT BECOMES COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
[ STRESS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME CAN DEVELOP INTO
CHRONIC STRESS AND IT IS THIS THAT CAN MAKE US QUITE UNWELL.
How you can use Reflexology to offset stress....
[ REFLEXOLOGY CAN BE A NATURAL, NON-INVASIVE OPTION
TO OFFSETTING THE EFFCTS OF STRESS ON YOUR HEART AND OVERALL HEALTH.
[TREATING THE BODY MIND AND SPIRIT AS A COHESIVE SYSTEM, IT
ENDEAVORS TO GET TO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT ITS SYMPTOMS.
[ WITH ITS ROOTS DATING BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT,
REFLEXOLOGY WORKS ON THE PREMISE THAT THE MAJOR ORGANS, NERVES AND GLANDS THAT
MAKE UP THE BODY ARE CONNECTED TO REFLEX POINTS IN THE SOLES, TOPS AND SIDES OF
THE FEET.
[ THROUGH THE SEQUENTIAL APPLICATION OF GENTLE
COMPRESSION TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO SPECIFIC AREAS OVER THE FEET, REFLEXOLOGY
POSSESSES THE CAPACITY TO CANCEL OUT THE EFFCTS OF STRESS WORKING TOWARDS
STIMULATING YOUR BODY’S OWN HEALING PROCESSES WHILE HELPING YOUR BODY TO REACH
A STATE OF DEEP RELAXATION IN A NATURAL WAY.
[THE TECHNIQUE OF REFLEXOLOGY IS OFTEN USED AS A
TYPE OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND TODAY IT IS INCREASINGLY BEING INTEGRATED
INTO TRADITIONAL MEDICAL PRACTICES.
