Helps alleviate pain from Osteoarthritis
"Maybe as effective as painkillers"
~ University of Portsmouth - researchers said "first time this therapy had been scientifically tested as a treatment for a cute pain."
Those who have had a treatment felt about 40% less pain, and were able to stand pain for about 45% longer when they used the complementary therapy as a method of pain relief.
Used in conjunction with drugs.
Direct pressure applied to reflex points on the feet during treatment can interrupt sensory transmission and confuse the nervous system, so pain is not perceived in the same way.
Reflexology also encourages the production of endorphins, chemicals produced by the body to help relieve stress and pain. They are our body's natural painkillers.
Can also reduce inflammation helping to ease muscular pain caused by overstretching and injury.
Helps to improve blood supply to the affected area, which in turn may improve range of movement
