Immune system supporting reflexology
|
Reflexology to support the immune system, is an individually tailored treatment with the aim of bringing about a positive change to the clients health.
Focus can be on either calming the immune system to support clients with inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders and more recently, sufferers with long COVID symptoms. Conversely, treatment can be given to stimulate the immune system. This is suitable for clients who feel they get one illness followed by another, individuals who are at risk of infection and those who feel they need a boost to their immune system. |
Example of how a treatment can be tailored to support a client suffering with symptoms of profound fatigue due to long COVID:
- calming the inflammatory response in reflexes associated with oxygen intake and absorption, including heart, lungs and trachea
- encouraging improved working of the diaphragm and intercostal muscle reflexes. These areas of the body are essential in effective respiration and for optimal lung capacity
- reflexes related to the immune response and mucous production, including the lymphatics, thymus and spleen
- thyroid, adrenals and liver to boost energy levels
- brain and nerve route reflexes associates with the above organs/areas for correct function, including phrenic nerve supply to the diaphragm
