Reflexology: Your Best Foot Forward

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

Reflexology: Your Best Foot Forward

An Interview with Certified Reflexologist, Jenny Igram

 

 

Well known metaphysical expert Louise Hay strongly believes that foot

problems psycho-emotionally express our fear of the future or not

stepping forward in life.

 

Foot problems can arise suddenly with no apparent rhyme or reason.

They can also be the result of an injury from direct trauma to the

feet or from ill-fitting shoes.

 

" Foot and hand Reflexology is a scientific art, based on the premise

that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands which

correspond to all body parts. The physical act of applying specific

pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques result in stress

reduction which causes a physiological change in the body.

Reflexology is the application of, specific pressure by the use of

the practitioner's hand, thumb and fingers to a reflex map resembling

the human body, which is believed to exist on the extremities. " 1.

 

The nervous system is the key to access, control, and releasing

subtle energy patterns which are apart of the body's nervous system.

It is thought that stimulating some of the more than 7,000 nerve

endings on the foot can unblock and increase the flow of this vital

energy to various parts of the body and therefore promote healing.

The reflexology theory is consistent with the theory behind

acupuncture and acupressure, in which mapped points on body parts

such as the ear, body or hand are treated to affect corresponding

remote organs or body zones.

 

" Many of our health issues revolve around stress, " says New York

Reflexologist, Jenny Ingram. " Stress can manifest mentally,

emotionally and or physically. Reflexology is a primary relaxation

technique. Reflexology can dissipate the effects of stress while it

helps the body relax. " Jenny Ingram, who is currently receiving her

license in Acupuncture, Oriental Medicine and Chinese Herbology,

discovered the many equivalent relationships in reflexology and

.

 

Chronic conditions seem to respond especially well to Reflexology. In

China, where reflexology is accepted by the central government as a

means of preventing and curing diseases and preserving health, over

300 research studies have shown reflexology provided some improvement

to 95% of the over 18,000 cases covering 64 illnesses studied.2.

 

Jenny uses Reflexology to gently improves lymphatic drainage and

venous circulation. " Most all my clients get reflexology for

different reasons but a shared response is how it can sooth, calm,

balance and boost their entire body. "

 

Reflexology can address a variety of needs. There has been thousands

of documented case studies from around the world which have

demonstrated the benefits of reflexology. Pain, congestion, stress

or overactive states within the body can be balanced. PMS, Migraine,

Sinus, Colic, Menopause, Constipation/Diarrhea, Back Pain,

Neck Pain, Siatica, Shoulder Pain, Asthma, Stroke, Menstrual

Irregularities can all benefit from the power of reflexology.

 

The stress of everyday standing and pounding on the feet, a more

serious disorder which is also accompanied by pain or the emotional

feelings of just being " stuck " or " unable or willing to move forward

in life " , are all great reasons why you should call Jenny Ingram or

your local reflexologist. You'll be happy you did!

Two other causes of foot problems are imperfect bone or muscle

structure, and concrete, unforgiving walking surfaces. You betcha.

 

I couldn't agree more that relexology is a great method for healing

the body and reducing stress, even if you are well and relaxed,

there is nothing better than a good foot rub!

 

Thanks, for the articles, as usual, Andrew.

I don't have experience of Reflexology but I got a treatment of

Integral Reflexology: for the whole body.

I always got on leg longer than other but after many many years, it

shows. At that time, I couldn't walk well, I felt like siatic, I saw

the integral reflexologist, she gave me three treatments. After

three treatments, my legs became equal and my pain is gone.

I've been having reflexology once a week for over a year. I have CFS

and fibrommyalgia and find reflexology a wonderful pain reliever.
