 What are the benefits of reflexology on brain health and function?  Reflexology has been found to have several benefits on brain health and function. Some of these include: 1. Stress Reduction: Reflexology helps to reduce stress and promotes relaxation, which can have a positive impact on brain health. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the mind and reduce anxiety. 2. Improved Blood Circulation: By applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, reflexology improves blood circulation throughout the body, including the brain. This in ..read more

Our lead investigator, Dr. Stefan Posse, presented the finding from our brain scanning project to 5000 research scientists in Singapore today. It involved applying reflexology while in realtime the participants were being scanned with a functional MRI unit. If you are interested in the results come join us on May 14th when  Barbara and myself talk about the results. Please share this with your friends ..read more

Real,World Consequences of Reflexology Research.  Reflexology research has the power to inform about possibilities for not only the medical community but also reflexologists. Research provides the power of possibilities about what reflexology can do.  The prognosis for 80 year old Dawn was not good on that Wednesday. The stroke she had experienced was described as “massive” by the consultant following assessment of a scan of her brain showing the injured area. She was not expected to survive the next 24 hours. If she did it was predicted she would be paralyzed on the left half of ..read more

The "four geriatric giants" is a term used to describe four common age-related conditions or challenges that older adults often face. These giants include: 1. Frailty: Frailty refers to a state of increased vulnerability to stressors, resulting in a decline in physical and cognitive functioning. Reflexology can address frailty by promoting relaxation, improving blood circulation, and stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. It can help reduce muscle tension, improve balance and coordination, and enhance overall well-being, which may contribute to a reduction in frailty-related symp ..read more

 Why is it important to study the efficacy of reflexology? Studying the efficacy of reflexology is important for several reasons: 1. Evidence-Based Practice: By studying the efficacy of reflexology, healthcare professionals can determine whether it is a valid and effective treatment option. This research helps establish a foundation of evidence that supports the use of reflexology in clinical practice. Evidence-based practice ensures that healthcare decisions are based on scientific evidence and promotes the delivery of safe and effective care. 2. Treatment Options: Researching the ..read more

 Facciamolo spesso! ??☀️ Quando ti lavi le mani, spruzzati sul viso acqua fredda che attiva il “riflesso dell'immersione”.   Questo a sua volta stimola il nervo vago che sposta il nostro sistema nervoso da “lotta o fuga” a “riposo e digestione”.  Il riflesso dell'immersione è una risposta fisiologica che si verifica negli esseri umani e in altri mammiferi quando immergono il viso in acqua fredda.  È caratterizzato da una serie di risposte automatiche volte a conservare l'ossigeno e a proteggere gli organi vitali.  Queste risposte includono una riduzione della f ..read more

  A Vision of the Future of Reflexology The future of reflexology holds promising potential. As complementary and alternative medicine continue to gain recognition and acceptance, reflexology is likely to play a significant role. Here are some projected advancements: 1. Research and evidence: Continued research into reflexology will expand our understanding of its mechanisms and effectiveness. This will contribute to building a stronger evidence base, supporting its integration into mainstream healthcare. 2. Integration with conventional medicine: Reflexology may become more integrate ..read more
