Our final seminar topic is reflexology.

The theory of reflexology is that messaging


or putting pressure on special points on the hands and feet can cause changes in
the condition of the body. The pressure in reflexology is often harder that that of
the standard message. Your reflex professional will also not rub but only apply
pressure to the location for the desired results. Reflexology is similar to
acupuncture in the thought that the action results in the unblocking of one’s chi
or energy flow.

Reflexology is highly studied in relation to cancer patients. Reflexology is used to


relax and cope with stress and anxiety, relieve pain, and lift your mood and
wellbeing. As always one should always speak to your doctor before adding
reflexology to your wellness routine.

There are health conditions that someone should avoid adding reflexology. Some
of these conditions include circulation problems of the feet, clots in the legs, gout,
foot ulcers, fungal conditions, or if one bruises easily. One also needs to
remember that complementary and alternative medicines while able to help
symptoms of conditions they cannot cure conditions.
