Reflexology for stress and anxiety relief

..From R.A.C (Reflexology Association of Canada)

Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are a natural part of life and everyone suffers from them now and again. Occasional and manageable stress and anxiety are nothing to worry about; however, long term chronic stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on health and well-being.

Reflexology is very effective for managing stress

Using our bodies creates tension. Problems occur when we do not release tensions regularly.

By gently working the ‘reflex points’ on specific areas of the body, reflexology induces a state of relaxation that releases tension, helps to increase blood flow to the extremities, slows down heart rate and decrease blood pressure

For clients suffering from stress-related illnesses, reflexology provides clients with a clinically proven method to reduce stress and anxiety without the use of drugs, helping clients avoid unpleasant side effects

For those looking for a natural therapy to relieve stress and anxiety, reflexology is the solution
