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 of long COVID. 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 a treatment approach for a client suffering with symptoms of profound fatigue due to long COVID:
- calming the inflammatory response in reflexes associated with O2 intake and absorption, including heart, lungs and trachea
- encouraging improved working of the diaphragm (essential in respiration) and the intercostal muscles (to allow for optimal lung capacity)
- lymphatics, thymus, spleen to reduce inflammation and mucous production
- thyroid, adrenals and liver to boost energy levels
- brain and nerve routes to above organs/areas for correct function, including phrenic nerve supply to diaphragm
