Other Therapies from the Emotional Tap

Reflexology
in the West began in 1913 with Dr William
Fitzgerald discovering the body could be mapped out into ten zones. Furthermore, pressure applied to a point could induce
relieve pain anywhere within its zone. Eurnice Ingham, a physiotherapist working with Dr Riley developed reflexology as we
know it today, back in the 1930's. In the East, Reflexology can be dated back to 2500BC.
Benefits:
- Crystal deposits are broken down to improve the blood supply.
- Balancing the body helps it to reach homeostasis.
- Promotes the unblocking of nerve impulses.
- The relaxation helps stress and tension.
- Endorphins are released to promote a sense of wellbeing.
Crystal deposits consist of calcium or lactic acid and urea. Homeostasis means an inherent tendency
in an organism towards maintenance of physiological and psychological stability. Endorphins are the body's natural pain
relieving agents.
During the first
consultation a full medical history may be taken with a general appraisal of your life style, e.g. work environment, diet,
exercise and updated on consequential appointments. Holism means the 'whole'. It refers to seeing the person as an
individual and adapting to the client's needs. It includes their environment, diet, life style and emotions. Holism does
not aim to cover up the symptoms but sees symptoms as a warning and looks at the cause of the symptoms. Treating the cause
of the symptoms heals.
