Why Reflexology?

before I found reflexology I was always using um massage therapy as a means of sort of dealing with workplace stress and tension which I tended to carry in my upper body um then I fell pregnant um with my first child and um massage was becoming more and more uncomfortable um because you know I was just getting bigger and lying down for long periods of time so someone suggested reflexology um which I tried and um yeah it really helped with General muscular tension and um stress and and also help me sleep better so I came to reflexology having being diagnosed with um unexplained infertility and I um tried actually uh two courses of fertility treatments which have both failed uh so a friend of mine recommended a very good reflexology um around where I lived and I decided to have a go at it because I wasn't prepared to do anything more medical than that and um and the benefits of uh reflexology were I would say U both emotional um and and physical emotionally because it really helped me uh feel much better I realized after a couple of actually sessions that I had a lot of anger and negative feelings uh inside me and after only session I had so much better reflexology has helped me to calm down the symptoms of my illnesses and um help me to live as normal a life as possible within the parameters of those illnesses I never expected reflexology to cure my disease um what I was hoping for and what I believe has happened is that reflex sexology makes you feel better and if you're feeling better you you know you're feeling well and your body functions better as well reflexology has done a lot for me um it's made me uh be able to manage my illnesses better um made me be able to get out of bed basically in the morning um and made me feel like I'm in control again of um my situation I've taken a variety of measures um diet i' I've always taken exercise to a degree um reflexology was one of the things that I thought would help me and certainly when I've had a reflexology session I I feel more relaxed there's no doubt about that very occasionally I feel very tired it's funny it has a different effect depending on my presumably my status at the time um sometimes I say I have to go and have a snooze other times I discontinue but the on every occasion I just I feel a little bit better it gives me a boost put it that way you feel just at ease I think is probably the best way of putting it if I was recommending um somebody to have reflexology treatments I would uh say to them to go to the um Association of reflexologists to get a recommendation of somebody within their area that um is known to be a good reflexologist because it's obviously very important when um you're dealing with health issues that you get somebody who knows what they're doing and um Can can work with you to help you uh get better I'd suggest they went through a referral but to make sure that they were going to see someone who is properly qualified because you know you want to make sure that whoever's treating you knows exactly what they're doing you know it's it's your body and you've got to take care of it e
