Therapeutic Reflexology treats you, not your condition or disease. Read more in today’s post.
Therapeutic Reflexology is a formally regulated healthcare therapy treating you as a person, instead of merely treating your disease or condition. That is what makes Therapeutic Reflexology a true holistic complementary therapy because treatment is customised for each person and there are no mere set protocols for specific conditions; each person reacts differently to treatment and therefore it is important to treat each person as an individual.
Living in the Western world, makes us want to have specific protocols for specific conditions, for example, when you have a headache, drink an aspirin or paracetamol tablet. In complementary therapy, it is not about treating the headache with a specific treatment protocol, but rather looking at the person experiencing the headache and then holistically treating the whole person through specific treatment protocols that may result in alleviation of the signs and symptoms like the headache. In complementary therapy, the focus is on the person and not necessarily on the specific condition.
Therapeutic Reflexology helps to reduce stress levels, restore balance or homeostasis, increase circulation and toxin elimination, and provides the ultimate form of relaxation that may increase overall health and wellbeing. In the process, specific signs and symptoms may be alleviated although the bigger goal in complementary therapy is to attempt to treat and positively impact the underlying cause of the signs and symptoms.
When making a Therapeutic Reflexology appointment, it is crucial to realise that you may have to receive a few treatment sessions, or even regular or ongoing treatment, instead of merely receiving one session and then expecting miracles to happen after only one session. Some patients are fortunate, and they do experience relief of certain signs and symptoms after one treatment session, but it is an unrealistic expectation to expect one session to resolve a matter you have been dealing with for many years. Therapeutic Reflexology is not just about alleviating signs and symptoms, it is about assisting your body to adjust through its innate healing ability to restore balance, and in the process, signs and symptoms may be alleviated.
Therapeutic Reflexology is not a magic cure, it is a professional complementary healthcare therapy that offers you the chance to experience the ultimate form of stress relief and relaxation that helps the body’s innate healing ability to heal itself, or at least attempt to rebalance itself.
Therapeutic Reflexology focuses on the person and not the condition or disease. Therapeutic Reflexology is about increasing your overall health and wellbeing, and your quality of life; sometimes, that may include alleviation of specific signs and symptoms.
