Do You or Your Child Have ADHD? Reflexology Could Help!

Reflexology can be beneficial to children, young people and adults. Reflexology can deeply relax, relief stress, anxiety, and pain from many sources, including headaches, nervous tension, tummy aches, and sleep problems just to name a few!

Common ADHD symptoms can include (just listing a few) fidgeting, anxiety, fear of sleep and often wakes up in the night unable to go back to sleep, excessive talking, impulsive actions, not able to follow directions, tendency toward daydreaming, very short attention span and poor hand eye coordination along with other related associated conditions such as dyslexia, Autism, Tourette's. There are many kinds of treatment for ADHD.

Some of the most conventional treatments include occupational, play and behaviour therapy, medicine, and parent training education programmes. A few holistic approaches that have been shown to work include supplementation, diet intervention, reflexology and homeopathy. Reflexology is an art and a science. A reflexologist works reflex points on either the feet or hands that represent the body in miniature.

The nerve pathways in each foot create's an energetic and electrochemical flow that communicate with the entire nervous system. Each reflex point connects with a specific organ, gland or body part.

Through the application of pressure using specific thumb and fingers techniques reflexology connects with the peripheral nervous system and encourages the body to relax.

Reflexology for Covid recovery

A lot is still unknown about the long term impacts of Covid-19. Long Covid occurs when symptoms of the virus last longer than the official two week period and can present with a number of symptoms that reflexology may be able to help with.According to the British Medical Journal BMJ, Long Covid sufferers report a spectrum of problems beyond the NHS-approved symptoms of a persistent cough, fever and loss of taste or smell. These symptoms can include profound fatigue, muscle aches, joint pain, chest heaviness/pressure, breathlessness, brain fog, memory loss, lack of concentration, and depression. Skin rashes, palpitations, headaches, diarrhoea, and pins and needles are also reported.

Skin rashes, palpitations, headaches, diarrhoea, and pins and needles are also reported.

A common feature of Long Covid is the relapsing nature of the illness, with sufferers having good days and bad days. Because of the ongoing issues experienced, it can take time for those affected to get back to their former fitness, sometimes with slow, backwards and forwards progress.

If you're recovering from Covid-19, reflexology may help you by bringing your body back in to balance, by providing deep rest, and by calming down your body's stress response. Reflexology boosts the circulation in the feet and body, which in turn promotes lymphatic flow to support your immune system. It can also help as a gentle treatment to manage pain. Reflexology is proven to aid sleep which is so important in healing the body when recovering from any illness. A treatment is deeply relaxing, soothing, and could alleviate anxiety that you may be feeling about your Coronavirus experience.

I provide treatment for people recovering from an illness and those with long term health conditions. I believe that reflexology can play an important role in your Covid recovery journey.

How did I get into Reflexology?

I looked into training as a reflexologist whilst working for the local authority Special Educational Needs and Disabilities service, as Reflexology was something I had myself, enjoyed and my health really benefitted from it. I am passionate about helping others, so once I went onto research Reflexology and its benefits for men, women, babies, children and young people, I just knew I wanted to be a Reflexologist. I have experienced fertility issues, Endometriosis, IBS, autoimmune Thyroid condition and stress myself and I wished I had known about Reflexology and its benefits all those years ago. Whilst training I carried out regular reflexology treatments on my own son and husband who have ADHD and they loved how the treatments supported their sleep, anxiety, hyperactivity and relaxation. I have worked supporting families including those with SEND for over 20 years and continue to support by offering Reflexology treatments. Having experienced working in a stressful environment, I understand how stress can affect both the body and mind. It's important that we all take time out for ourselves to unwind and relax as it can be very beneficial to your health and well-being.

Did You Know That Reflexology Can Boost Your Immune System?

Protection is always better than cure and the best way to keep flu, cold and infections away is by strengthening the body’s natural defence mechanism – the immune system.

The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs – the thymus, spleen, bone marrow and lymphatic system – that work together to protect the body.

During Unique Feet Reflexology treatments all of these organs and systems are stimulated by pressure to connected points on the feet, to help boost circulation and help them work optimally, thereby increasing their ability to protect the body better.

Important factors to consider when talking about the immune system is stress, as it plays a part in our immune function. Stress is related to each and every aspect of our modern day lifestyle.

Reflexology, reduces stress and tension throughout the body’s systems to improve blood and lymph circulation and release toxins from the body’s tissues. It is believed to encourage the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones, well documented in their ability to relieve stress.
