Running on Empty? Burnt out? How Can Reflexology Help?

Regular Therapeutic Reflexology treatments are highly beneficial in supporting recovery from burnout. Because burnout is rooted in chronic nervous system overdrive, the deep therapeutic relaxation induced by reflexology helps shift the nervous system into the "rest and digest" state that your body desperately needs.

Furthermore, reflexology can help alleviate the associated health issues that often accompany burnout, such as insomnia, fatigue, poor digestion, and compromised immune function.

As registered practitioners, we are also trained to offer lifestyle and nutritional recommendations and, most importantly, provide referrals to other essential practitioners (like psychologists or coaches) who can ensure your recovery is holistic and sustainable.

Running on Empty?
We’re approaching that time of year again, with only a few more weeks until the end of 2025. At this point, you may have felt like you’ve been running a marathon.

There is a difference between the end of your fatigue and burnout. The medical definition of burnout is quite severe, and late-stage burnout can take months to treat.

When we think about burnout, a picture of someone overworked and in desperate need of a break, it looks like there is no way out of the work cycle. But burnout is more complicated than that. Several factors can cause burnout, from constantly trying to achieve more to living a life without meaning and purpose. Our everyday habits can lead to burnout if our routine is solely to get us through life.

The main benefit of therapeutic reflexology in an oncology setting is to promote deep relaxation and activate the body's self-regulatory systems, which helps manage the intense physical and emotional toll of cancer treatments.

A cancer diagnosis changes a person’s life and can be a very stressful time. It can be especially overwhelming in a time of information overload, where different treatment options and contradictory 'health' advice is demanding your attention on every screen.

Therapeutic Reflexology is a noninvasive supportive tool that focuses on improving quality of life and easing discomfort.

Most people know reflexology goes deeper than a simple foot rub, but do you know how?

Therapeutic Reflexology is a both an art and science that works from the inside out by stimulating the entire nervous system. We aren't just rubbing your feett—we are working on specific reflex points that map directly to your organs, glands, and nervous system.

What makes a Therapeutic Reflexologist different?

Systemic Healing: Our intention is not just relaxation, but to stimulate your body’s self-healing mechanisms, allowing balancing and lasting healing to take place throughout your body.

Reflexology can be used as an assessment Tool. We study the physical manifestations on your feet (like calluses, temperature changes, or swelling) to identify stressed or imbalanced organs or systems.

Professional Registration: In South Africa, Therapeutic Reflexologists are registered with the AHPCSA (Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa). This rigorous registration requires adherence to a strict scope of practice, including:

-Verbal and physical patient assessment.
-Continual professional development (CPD).
-Inter-disciplinary consultation and referral.

New on the blog: How Reflexology Helps to regulate the endocrine system.

*How Reflexology Influences Hormone Regulation*

- Endocrine Reflex Points: Reflexologists target pressure points on the feet corresponding to endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive organs. This pressure aims to stimulate these glands, helping them function more effectively and balance hormone levels.

- Promotes Relaxation: Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports relaxation (rest and digest) and reduces stress. Lowering stress levels can help decrease the production of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, allowing the body to regulate other hormones better.

- Enhances Circulation: Reflexology techniques can improve blood circulation. Better circulation ensures that hormones, oxygen, and nutrients are delivered more efficiently to cells and organs, supporting overall hormonal health and function.

- Supports Overall Well-being: Reflexology promotes balance and relaxation, which helps the body heal and function efficiently. When the body is relaxed, it can better regulate itself, including its hormonal systems.

*How to Use Reflexology for Hormone Balance*

- Consult a Registered Reflexologist: Seek out a fully qualified and experienced reflexologist who can assess your needs and provide a treatment plan specific to your needs.
- Consider a Course of Treatment: Reflexology can have a cumulative effect, so a series of sessions over several weeks or months may be necessary to achieve significant results.
- Incorporate Lifestyle changes: If necessary, your reflexologist may recommend specific lifestyle changes or things to incorporate into your daily life, such as diet, movement, stress management techniques, and environmental changes. Combining reflexology sessions with these lifestyle changes enhances their effects on hormone regulation.

Eunice Ingham (1889 - 1974) is well known in the field of reflexology and is regarded as the "Mother of Modern Reflexology". She refined the foundational work of Dr. William Fitzgerald, called "Zone Therapy", which involved applying pressure to different zones in the body to alleviate pain in the related area.

Ingham, a Physiotherapist, spent years meticulously mapping the entire body onto the feet, creating a detailed foot chart, which is still used today.
The fundamental principle of reflexology is that the feet are a microcosm of the entire body.

Ingham travelled across the United States, giving lectures and seminars to both medical and non-medical practitioners. She believed that reflexology was a simple and effective tool to promote health and well-being.

She also founded the International Institute of Reflexology to protect and preserve her original work and ensure proper teaching of reflexology.

Therapeutic Reflexologist - Jasmine Steyn

Reflexology is a holistic therapy that promotes health and well being. It stimulates the body’s self-healing mechanisms and eliminates toxins. Specific reflex points on the feet (hands and ears) correspond to different organs and parts of the body. Stimulation of these points increases blood flow, oxygen & nutrients, to the corresponding organ or body parts.

I qualified as a Therapeutic Reflexologist at the end of 2014, and have been practising ever since. I decided to study reflexology after I realised that reflexology wasn’t just a fascinating therapy, but also a very effective one.

I started off with my private practice in Springs. In 2017 I started working at corporate companies around Johannesburg. I also offer mobile reflexology services within a 30km radius of Germiston.

I have a huge passion for helping people achieve optimal health and wellness through reflexology and lifestyle.
