Using Reflexology for Arthritis issues

 
I find that many people suffer from Arthritis these days. For some, the arthritis shows up in their hands, others their feet. However, it can also present in the joints such as your elbows, hips, knees and shoulders. When the pain and stiffness attacks it seems there can be no hope. Reflexology not only helps when the pain and stiffness creeps in but it can also be a very helpful preventative treatment. Many of my clients come in every 2-4 weeks for a session to help keep their joints lubricated, detoxed and full of circulation. Reflexology can help…

Detox

Uric Acid Arthritis

Reflexology can help break down uric acid and lactic acid that can store in the joints causing pain and inflammation. Removing these toxins from the joints and from the body will have a positive effect on your metabolic rate and the mobility of the joints in your hands and feet.

Circulation

Reflexology can improve circulation of the blood and the lymph. It is very helpful in bringing blood flow to the hands and feet. Improving the circulation in the body helps to remove the toxins that get broken up and helps them to flush out of the body. Getting rid of these toxins is key to improving the symptoms associated with arthritis.

Stress

Having arthritis can be very stressful to live with. Long-term stress can leave a person feeling exhausted, depleted, can worsen the arthritis and even lead to the development of other symptoms. Receiving regular Reflexology treatments helps to manage stress levels, keeping you in optimal health.

Immune Response

Some forms of arthritis are due to autoimmune conditions. This happens when the body starts to attack itself. Reflexology works on balancing all of the body’s organs and glands, which encourages the immune system to function normally.

Pain Relief

Regular Reflexology sessions have been shown to reduce pain associated with arthritis.
