What Does the Research Say about Reflexology? | Taking Charge of Your Health & Wellbeing

Research studies in the U.S. and around the world indicate possible benefits of reflexology for various conditions, particularly as an intervention to reduce pain, enhance relaxation, and reduce psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. However reviewers of the research have noted that...Do you or your client have flat feet? Excessive pronation? Collapsed arches? Check out the article below: "Tibialis Posterior: The Most Important Muscle You Didn't Know You Had". It offers a great overview on the subject, and gives help on how to address the problem.
The functions of the Tibialis Posterior muscle are to help the calf muscles push the foot down (as in the 'toe off' phase of walking and running) and to turn the foot inward.
In reflexology terms, how does this affect a person in the bigger picture? In my reflexology practice, I most often observe a relationship between tib posterior and problems of the urinary system (UTIs, incontinence) and the low back, among other things. Addressing the muscle can reduce these problems very quickly.
For more information about foot structure and how to work with it in a natural way, you might also consider taking Dr. Ray McClanahan's class at Seattle Reflexology on July 28 (early registration discount until July 13). Call 206.284.8389 to register.
