Child Reflexology
Child reflexology is just as effective for children of all ages supporting mood, anxiety, depression, sleep, tension and concentration to name a few.
It can be more effective with children for a number of reasons including, their curiosity to learn self-help techniques that they can use on their own hands and feet, their problems are new to them and have had less time to damage their body as a whole over a sustained period of time, they have less emotional experience allowing them more open to self-healing, change and an holistic approach.
The benefits of child reflexology are similar to that of Traditional Reflexology but more specific for children can include:
- Improves the immune and digestive system
- Promotes better sleep
- Relieves pain and tension
- Alleviates the feeling of anxiousness or agitation
- Improves concentration
- Promotes better focus
- Promotes relaxation and calmness
- Improves moods and energy levels
- Promotes healthier wellbeing
- And many more
Some of the conditions that reflexology can support include:
- Digestion conditions and disorders (colic, reflux, constipation)
- Teething
- Disturbed Sleep/Nightmares/Night Terrors
- Asthma including respiratory infections and disorders
- Panic Attacks
- Stress and focus associated with revising for exams

A parent/guardian will always be present during the treatment and techniques can be taught to the child, parent and/or guardian that can be used at home. Sessions for a child can be anywhere between 30-60 minutes depending on their age.
