Reflexology

Reflexology is one of many complementary therapies that have the power to help relaxation and induce a

state of calm and it is this relaxation that uplifts the soul, the mind and the body.  It is a special type of

massage carried out on the feet or the hands. 

We react to things in our own unique way and when suffering from a potentially life threatening illness our reactions may be greatly magnified.  These feelings and reactions can vary from day to day therefore the

type of reflexology treatment given is adapted to the individual needs of the person at the time of the

treatment. 

Sometimes, when someone is diagnosed with cancer everything is focused on the cancer and not the person and occasionally it can

feel as if we have been forgotten.  A reflexology treatment gives us the time to be ourselves,  to relax with the therapist and to feel safe

and comfortable.  Touch plays a vital role in our well-being, it is a silent form of communication and makes us feel nurtured and cared for. 

Reflexology can be used throughout the treatment of cancer, the relaxation it gives helps us to cope and if there comes a time when the doctors cannot do any more then, alongside the palliative care staff, reflexology can help us to feel that we are still cared for.
