Children.
The benefits of reflexology are by no means restricted to adults only. It can help various issues that children and babies suffer such as digestive disorders, disturbed sleep and ear problems. It is also extremely calming and can have a powerful impact on babies and children that are tense, agitated or restless.
I – five years old
I visited me several times during the winter of 07 suffering with uncomfortable and blocked ears which meant that she couldn’t hear properly and had a knock on effect on her confidence at school. She visited the ear specialist every 3 months, who always reported that her hearing was below average. After a series of 8-10 treatments, she visited the specialist again and her hearing tested as normal.
L – 3 years old
L’s Mum is a regular client who enjoys reflexology once a month for relaxation and battery recharging. When L was restless and sleeping poorly at night then waking up exhausted and irritable, she thought she’d see if it had the same effect on him as it did on her. At the initial session he became serene very quickly and entered a trance-like state. He slept more deeply and calmly as a result. After a few sessions, his sleep settled into a more relaxed pattern.
J – 3 months old
J has been suffering with tummy pain, constipation and digestive trouble since birth which has led to much distress and several crying sessions throughout the day. After each of his reflexology sessions, he becomes very still and calm, the tension dissipates and he usually fills his nappy very soon afterwards. He is continuing with treatments.
L – 8 months old
L is a very active baby and is often restless at night, waking early the following morning. Regular reflexology sessions have ensured much calmer, deeper and more refreshing sleep. They have also ensured that his bouts of teething have not disturbed him at night. Treatments are continuing.
