MENOPAUSE REFLEXOLOGY

 
 

Menopause reflexology is a wonderful reflexology sequence that focuses on applying pressure to specific reflex points of the feet or hands, it aims to alleviate various symptoms associated with menopause, support the body’s natural balance and promote overall well being during this transition phase of a woman’s life.

It is important to remember that the signs and symptoms of menopause can vary from woman to woman, as does the severity and duration of such symptoms, some of the most common include:

  1. Hot flashes: Reflexology may help regulate body temperature and reduce the intensity and frequency of hot flashes.

  2. Night sweats: By promoting relaxation and improving circulation, reflexology could help reduce night sweats and promote better sleep.

  3. Mood swings and irritability: Reflexology techniques may help regulate hormones balance, stress reduction, reduce mood swings and irritability commonly experienced during menopause.

  4. Insomnia: Reflexology techniques can help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety which may be beneficial for managing insomnia.

  5. Fatigue and low energy: Reflexology aims to restore energy levels by stimulating specific points on the feet or hands that correspond to the body's energy pathways.

  6. Hormonal imbalances: Reflexology is believed to help balance hormone levels by stimulating the endocrine system, which may alleviate symptoms related to hormonal imbalances.

  7. Pain relief: reflexology may help relieve various types of pain associated with the menopause such as headaches, muscles aches and joint pain.
