Reflexology
Reflexology
Reflexology works by tearing apart capillary congestion while also stimulating the nerve system to essentially “reboot” your body’s senses. Rigorous cancer treatment options such as chemotherapy and others are known to cause tremendous stress on the body. All of this stress built up over time can cause your joints and ligaments to ache.
When pressure is applied at particular nerve endings, it sends signals to other areas of your body to re-establish the natural flow of your body. There are several benefits that reflexology has to offer as it relates to being used for post-treatment therapy.
Here are some of the primary benefits reflexology provides to cancer patients:
- Lymphatic system stimulation
- Anxiety & Tension Relief
- Stress Reduction
- Enhance Pain Management
- Increased Energy
- Improved Blood Flow/Circulation
All of these benefits help reduce the harsh side effects that traditional cancer treatments can have on your body. People who choose reflexology do so because other therapy options are too intrusive for them. If you don’t like being touched, reflexology is the perfect solution for you as it involves minimal human contact.
The benefits of using reflexology to deal with cancer treatment
Reflexology enhances the quality of life that cancer patients experience after finishing treatment or while dealing with the disease in general. If you’ve been having trouble sleeping, feel anxious, nauseous, or stressed, reflexology can help alleviate these feelings naturally.
Reflexology stimulates your body as opposed to relaxing it as massages do. This is why it’s such an effective therapy for restoring your body’s function after undergoing cancer treatment. Reflexology gives you the ability to experience rejuvenation and pain relief without having to take prescribed medications.
