Discover Hand Reflexology techniques and how they can benefit you..

Research has shown the specific techniques of reflexology to be effective and beneficial in many ways. A survey of 170 reflexology studies from 21 countries shows that reflexology is effective, impacting a variety of physical and psychological concerns.

• Reflexology work helps individuals of all ages with some 78 health concerns ranging from aggressive behaviour in children to urinary concerns of the elderly.
• Reflexology work increases blood flow to the feet, brain, kidneys and intestines.
• Reflexology can reduce depression (11 studies) and anxiety (9 studies).
• Complements cancer care: Pain, Nausea, Vomiting, and/or Anxiety is eased.
• Eases Pregnancy Delivery and Post.
• Reduces stress.
• Recovery after Surgery, reducing Pain.

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 homoeostasis, the body's equilibrium.

Reflexology is a relaxing tool that works on their feet or hands which keeps them calm, relaxed and happy.

A new baby in the first three months is not capable of responding to you with any conscious purpose. They have feelings of pleasure when they feed successfully or hear your soothing voice, feelings of pain when they feel hungry or frightened - but they don't actually know that fear is what they feel and neither do they understand there is a 'them' to feel it. So if they hear loud or frightening noises for instance and feel fear, they have no way of knowing that they did not cause these themselves. In other words they think they are their environment - so it matters very much what their environment is like.

Every baby is very different. You have heard that before but it is really true and means that every baby has a different constitution and personality that may be very different from your own. They may be easy going and placid or they may be shy and worried, or possess many other natural ways of responding that you will be getting to learn about and recognise over the early months.

Learning techniques to relax, ease and help your baby to develop in their own natural way, has a domino effect on the rest of their life. Reflexology techniques can be drawn on throughout, and at any time of the day - in the car, while shopping, before bath time or even in the middle of the night - as it only involves using their feet or hands.

Now is the time to prepare for your Infant becoming a Toddler..

Infants are learning.. and every day is something new..

Gentle Reflexology Techniques created especially for your Toddler... and easily learnt by you and all the family.

Children in the toddler stage think they are the centre of everything. They can often be grumpy when forced to do things they don’t like or want. They begin to become more interested in their surroundings and touching or getting into EVERYTHING is not abnormal. Toddlers may begin to suffer from separation, this usually coincides with walking.

The toddler stage may be somewhat difficult. Most toddlers begin to develop a strong sense of self. They can also be easily upset. Make sure to stay patient with your child. This stage is extremely important for developing spatial skills and people skills. Although it may be difficult to get your toddler to understand the concept of sharing, make sure to keep them involved with others their age. This period in a child’s life is very important for development, and learning Reflexology techniques allows you and your toddler to ease any anxiety felt, allows any difficult times to be less stressful as this will, in turn, make it easier for them as they continue growing and maturing. You can involve all the family in the Reflexology treatments which will allow Grandparents, Parents and the rest of the family to be involved in the toddler’s development.

If you have ever been standing in the supermarket queue with a screaming toddler or have had sleepless nights when they just will not settle, then come and learn all about Reflexology it truly is the answer!

What's A Foot?
