REFLEXOLOGY
by Beverley Hawkins
Leading cardiologist Dr. Mehmet Oz is a regular on the Oprah Winfrey show. In May 2007, Dr. Oz demonstrated Reflexology on the show. While he worked on Oprah's feet he explained that Reflexology was very effective in easing tension. Oprah replied, “That's why Reflexology is so great!” She responded to Dr. Oz's work on her feet with eye rolls and sighs of pleasure. Dr. Oz went on to state, “Every patient that I operate on at New York Presbyterian Hospital gets a Reflexology type treatment…” On another show, he mentioned that validating
MRI research indicates that if stimulation is applied to the eye “reflex” on the foot, a corresponding area of the brain lights up on the MRI. He is not the first person to talk about the benefits of Reflexology but with the influence of the Oprah Winfrey Show he is certainly getting the message out to millions of people.
Reflexology requires no special equipment and the client remains fully dressed, except for exposing the feet. Each organ and system of the body is “reflexed” on the feet, so the whole body receives a work out! Most people find they become so calm that they may snooze while the therapist is working on their feet. A few feel so invigorated that they can't wait to get off the massage table and go dancing!
Numerous studies conducted on people suffering from many different conditions have shown that adding Reflexology is a very effective strategy. You don't have to be suffering from any major complaint to benefit from Reflexology. Regular Reflexology sessions have been shown to be a wonderful way of keeping the system “tuned up”. Try it for yourself and feel the difference Happy Feet can make!
