Reflexology for Stress & Anxiety

The most common issues I support my clients with is stress and anxiety.

Stress is a normal response; it is a survival mechanism that has evolved to keep us safe and alert to harm. If this response becomes overstimulated and prolonged through work pressures, family life, financial worries and ill health to name a few, it can harm us physically and emotionally by putting strain on all the systems of the body. Chronic stress is a risk factor in developing anxiety and depression.

Reflexology is known to help the mind and body to relax. It helps counteract the effects of the stress response by encouraging deep relaxation. This effect activates the parasympathetic nervous system which helps the body to rest and recover.

My clients tell me that they value their reflexology treatments not only for the ‘me time’ and the enjoyability of the treatment, but they comment that they have felt benefits including improved sleep, increased calmness, enhanced mood, and a reduction in their physical symptoms. Additionally, they report an overall improvement in their sense of wellbeing.

Here is an interesting research study that indicates the positive effects of having reflexology to support stress and anxiety.
