Headaches can come in various forms, such as sinus headaches, functional headaches, tension headaches and migraine headaches. No matter what the form they can be painful and debilitating. Migraines can involve nausea, vomiting, and severe pain as well as photophobia (a sensitivity to light).
As migraines can be caused by muscle tension, hormonal imbalance and food intolerance or bad digestion reflexology works the spinal column to release tension and for nerve innovation to the muscles around the head and neck as well as the rest of the body. Working the hormonal points can release endorphines, reducing pain, balancing body chemistry and increasing the body’s own cortisone.
A program of reflexology sessions has been seen to reduce the frequency as well as the intensity of headaches and migraines.
Reflexology is a wholistic, non-invasive therapy which means that it fully complements any medications and treatments you are currently undergoing. Reflexology can be used alongside any other therapy.
Reflexology also reduces stress, balances the nervous system, improves sleep quality and improves circulation. It boosts the lymphatic drainage of the body to reduce excess fluids and increases vitality.
