Reflexology is safe for all ages, from newborns to the elderly. Because reflexology improves circulation, anyone diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis should NOT receive it.
Reflexology For Infants and Children
All babies cry, and some cry a lot; and this can be distressing and on occasions frustrating for all concerned. Sometimes it is easy to work out why babies are crying, for example hunger, dirty nappy, wind or if they are tired, however sometimes there appears to be no apparent reason and nothing seems to soothe them. But an unpublished study from Denmark suggests that some simple reflexology moves on the feet of your baby may help reduce those screaming fits.
Reflexology for Seniors
For some, the process of aging is graceful, with very few attacks on their health or mental faculties. Others experience a myriad of conditions associated with aging – osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, decrease or loss of senses such as sight or hearing, and high cholesterol to name a few.
Reflexologists do not claim to extend the life of their clients, but to assist in the quality of it. Maybe that will mean a day free of pain for one person or a week of regular bowel movements for another. Maintenance sessions might be planned weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or as needed.
Teenage stress and Reflexology
Teenage stress is a real problem affecting a large number of teenagers. So remembering your own teenage years and recalling your own experiences makes you realize how prevalent teenage stress is.
As a parent, it is difficult to see your child go jump through all these hoops expected of them; exams, body changes, body image and peer pressure. Emotions are on a roller coaster, and we parents have to be there, listen and try to help as much as they allow us to.
