Coping with Stress using Reflexology

I think most of us can say we have been stressed at some point, and for some people it is most days. Work, family, money, broken sleep: ordinary life can push your shoulders up around your ears before you have noticed.

You cannot always switch it off

It is not easy to prevent stress, and I would not pretend a single hour removes it. There are things that help many people cope a little better: a walk, saying no to one extra job, talking to a friend, or simply sitting down. The NHS has practical tips to reduce stress, which are a sensible place to start. If stress is affecting your health, please speak to your GP.

Where reflexology may help

Reflexology may help you relax. Clients often tell me the treatment is the first time that week they have properly stopped. That is the point of it. It is not a treatment for stress, anxiety or any medical condition.

Mary Martin has written a useful article, Coping with stress, about reflexology and everyday pressure. It is the piece I first wanted to share, and it is still worth a read.

If you would like an hour that is just for you, please contact and book. You might also like reflexology and mental health and self-help ideas for home.
