Care and Companionship for Seniors
Improving Quality of Life
Stress is considered to be a major factor, if not the cause, in approximately 75-80% of all illness. Stress is also known to contribute greatly to the ageing process.
Nurturing healing touch can have a hugely positive psychological effect on the elderly and distressed individual or those just looking to improving quality of life. It can be a significant therapeutic factor in treating despondency in the aging and/or the ill because of its multi faceted psycho-social, mental, emotional and physical benefits.
Treatments improve blood and lymphatic circulation as well as energy flow; which is particularly relevant to those with poor mobility or sedentary lifestyles, as circulation in the extremities can easily become impaired.
One of the biggest advantages of reflexology is its ability to affect the internal structures of the body with access to over 7200 nerve endings residing in the foot. A person with breathing difficulties and congestion in the lungs for example cannot have the lungs massaged. With reflexology, working the chest and lung reflexes can stimulate a reflexive action in the lungs. In my practice I have seen many dramatic and positive results, especially in relation to pain management, digestive, respiratory, sinus and mood related conditions.
Reflexology applied at regular intervals can achieve great results to improve immune function, circulation and conditions such as anxiety/depression, constipation, loss of appetite, insomnia and other stress related dis-ease or energy blocks without any unwanted negative side effects. The treatment involves the whole person.
Body Mind and Spirit.
One of my greatest joys in life is spending time with the elderly or those in restricted living arrangements. Connection and companionship are truly essential in this life. If you are unable to make visits to your loved ones I would be happy to help and would be providing a therapeutic treatment while visiting.
Ask me how I can be of help and special rates.
