Reflexology
The following article expresses the personal views of Brian Jeffery
and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of any professional
body. WHAT IS Reflexology?Reflexology is a very ancient form of Chinese medicine, as far as we know about 5,000 years old. However, the ancient Egyptians practised it, as did some American Indians and even some African tribes. A very ancient form of healing in any man’s language! Reflexology practitioners believe each part of the feet (and hands) represents a part of the body. The left foot representing the left side of the body and the right foot representing the right side of the body. All parts of the body therefore are found as a reflex in the feet and arranged to form a map, which is very similar to the body’s anatomical layout. Therefore, in Reflexology, we are not really treating the feet (or lower limbs) as such, but stimulating the body’s healing mechanism through the feet (or hands). It should be pointed out at this stage that the vast majority of Reflexologists are not medically qualified and are therefore forbidden to diagnose (this being the job of your G.P./Specialist). However, the feet do not lie! In almost all cases, if an area of tenderness is experienced, the patient will verify that indeed the corresponding area is not behaving at optimum levels!
