Reflexology is often misunderstood as simply a way to relax, but trained reflexologists work with detailed reflex maps to support the nervous system and whole-body balance.

Through observation, assessment and an understanding of anatomy and physiology, reflexology supports the body’s ability to move out of stress and into regulation, where rest, repair and healing can take place.




💜 The Irish Reflexologists’ Institute (IRI) is the professional body for reflexology in Ireland, supporting reflexologists through education, professional standards, continued learning, and a connected practitioner community. 💜

Eunice Ingham - Mother of Modern Reflexology recognised the importance of good foot care. 👣

Exactly why I love being a foot health professional and a reflexologist. They are intrinsically linked. 💚💜

Reflexology for Lower Back Pain💚💜

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BjGsMgUJQ/

A question of balance

It is estimated that 73% of adults suffer from some form of spinal pain, with that of the low back being the most common.
Reflexology has unique value not only in treating this condition but also in understanding the primary cause.

Low back pain, although felt as localised pain by the sufferer, is part of a broader issue affecting the entire body, which the reflexes will reveal.
Although there are exceptions where a trauma has occurred directly to the lower back, it is an imbalance between the hips and pelvis which produces strain and inflammation to the lower spine, making it the primary cause. The reflexes to these areas will reveal this.

The instep area around the top of the ankle (when the foot is dorsiflexed) will also show reflex disturbance and reduced range of movement, and needs to be treated accordingly.

Some considerations
Most cases of back pain will respond to a deep massage of both feet given with authority, not brutality. This used to be a common treatment, especially for severe LBP, where applying pressure to the spine wasn’t appropriate, making it a very safe approach. It also reveals that the effects of LBP extend across the body’s fascial network, the massage helps to release this.

Acquired postural patterns
This is a subject which is overlooked: we all develop physical patterns, which, as William Reich described, as body armouring (a subconscious protective mechanism). This can be responsible for conditions such as low back pain.
I shall be continuing this subject in future postings, so stay tuned.

My Best wishes
