Here are some Frequently Asked Questions from our readers.
Question:
What is reflexology ?
Reflexology is the application of presure techniques to the feet and hands. Techniques target specific parts of the hand or foot to focus on particular body parts and body stresses. Reflexology has been found to be a safe and effective practice when applied in a conscientious program.
Question:
How can I benefit from reflexology?
Stress creates many physical maladies. Reflexology can first help you locate your stress on reflex maps of the foot or hand. With pressure techniques, you then relax the stress, thus impacting your health.
Take, for example, the experience of a long-time client. She was experiencing extreme gastric distress while returning from a trip. During the sixty-mile drive to the emergency room, she decided to try reflexology methods to ease her pain. She found a sensitivity stress cue on her hand and applied a reflexology technique. She successfully alleviated her symptoms and drove home instead of continuing to the hospital as had been her previous experience.
Another client became increasingly concerned as his throat virus continued in spite of medication. Kevin found a very prominent stress cue in the throat reflex area of the foot. The client had a target on which to focus self-help reflexology technique efforts. His stalled recovery suddenly rebounded.
Our years of experience in reflexology have shown us countless examples of people choosing reflexology to effect their health, taking control of their bodies and gaining a sense of satisfaction from being in charge. You too can choose reflexology to help yourself. (Kunz, Kevin and Kunz, Barbara, My Reflexologist Says Feet Don't Lie, RRP Press, 2001, pages 7 and 8)
Question:
What are stress cues?
A stress cue is, most simply, an indicator that a part of your body is under stress.
Question:
What do they reflect about my body?
Your body makes adaptations to cope with stress. The stress cues in the feet depict the adaptations. By reading the stress cues of the feet, you can become aware of your body's wear and tear pattern.
Question:
What can I do about stress cues?
Reflexology can first help you locate your stress cues and then give you the tools to relax the stress, thus impacting your health.
Question:
Can reflexology help my problem?
