Pain affects millions of people worldwide and affects everyone in different ways.  It is very personal and is defined by whatever the person experiencing it says they are feeling.

Pain can be either Acute, which has a quick onset and lasts from a few seconds to less than six months. Or Chronic, which lasts longer than six months and can cause both physical and emotional distress..

Ongoing pain can affect the immune system, sleep and behavioural patterns, and is often accompanied alongside depression.

Supporting Clients in pain with Reflexology

Many people turn to reflexology when they have pain.  Reflexology causes the brain to release chemicals that lessen pain signals.  Nerve Reflexology is especially effective and deals with pain using nerve reflex points on the foot bones.   By pressing these points there is a precise impact on various parts of the nervous system. This changes the pain process in the nervous system to bring relief from acute and chronic pain. Nerve Reflexology benefits those with pain issues due to reduced or excessive action of muscles, joints, organs and other structures.

The effect of nerve reflexology is instantaneous and can be controlled by reducing pain in the nerve itself, or, in the tissues controlled by that nerve. Any tensions or pain in muscles and organs can be rapidly decreased.

Reflexology allows the body to relax, which is a great contribution to general well-being.  Therefore, it improves the circulation, stimulates the lymphatic system and helps the body to get rid of toxins, which in turn all help reduce pain.
