Ageing well is about maintaining balance, comfort, and quality of life as the body changes over time. Factors such as circulation, mobility, sleep quality, stress levels, and emotional wellbeing all play a role in how we experience ageing.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that works holistically, supporting the body’s natural systems rather than focusing on specific conditions. By encouraging deep relaxation and supporting nervous system balance, reflexology may help the body move out of a prolonged stress response. This can have a positive effect on sleep, circulation, and overall vitality.
Reflexology may also support comfort and mobility by helping to ease tension and improve circulation to tissues. Many people find that regular sessions help them feel more settled, rested, and better able to cope with the physical and emotional demands of daily life as they age.
While reflexology does not replace medical care, it can be used alongside conventional healthcare as part of a proactive approach to wellbeing. Used regularly, reflexology may help support resilience, body awareness, and balance throughout the ageing process.
💜 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. 💜
