Benefits of foot reflexology for aged care
Foot reflexology has benefits for any she but particularly for older men and women because of its ability to gently initiate healing and connections to body parts thst would be hard and impossible to touch directly.
The reflex areas we find in the feet have a direct influence on the corresponding parts of the body and by rubbing and holding and various other techniques we can initiate healing for those areas without touching them.
At Balance for life our reflexology sessions also include Reiki healing and if requested a personal flower essence and guided meditation to finish the 30-45 min sessions.
🔹Chronic Pain: Reflexology may be extremely supportive in breaking the pain cycle in aging muscles and joints.
🔹Stress: Older people are not immune to stress, so reflexology may still be a effective way to calm the central nervous system.
🔹Anxiety & Depression: The time, care and nurturing touch that a reflexologist offers is ideal for the older client.
🔹Insomnia & Fatigue: Reflexology is known for its support for people who have disrupted sleep patterns. And a good nights sleep means less daytime fatigue and better health.
🔹 Digestive Issues: Aging, coupled with possibly a more sedentary life style, can cause immense digestive discomfort. A reflexology practitioner can focus more attention to the CNS and the reflexes of the digestive system to support this discomfort.
🔹Side effects from medication: As people get older they often require more medication. This medication often brings uncomfortable side effects. Reflexology offers a great tool to support normal bodily function.
Now there are many more benefits but I think this is plenty for today… if you like to book or have questions please send me a message.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.9% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
