Reflexologists believe that a body can be brought to a state of healing by itself with the holistic
powers of reflexology. The balance of the body is restored with the help of reflexology. They
believe all structures and organs in the body are in similitude with the organs of the body. Just by
massaging the potent points in the feet or hands we can stimulate the organs and restore the body
to its previous balanced form. There is some disease that afflicts human being, like Parkinsons
disease which is a degenerative disease and conventional treatment does provide much respite to
the patients. Reflexology does help to bring the body to a restorative balance taking it to a stage
where it can heal by itself.

Symptoms of Parkinsons Disease

deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This disease affects the middle-aged and the
elderly. The disease marks a drop in spontaneous movements, difficulty in maintaining posture,
gait and a sort of rigidity and tremors affect the body. Though Parkinsons disease patients can
have the combined treatment of surgery and medication, mind, body and supplementation by
nutritional therapies could help the patient who is suffering from this disease.

How does Reflexology help?

A practitioner who practices reflexology believes that massaging the brain, head, and spine
responds to massaging and can benefit from the holistic approach to the treatment. To help with
the tremors associated with the disease. Walking the thumb over the reflexology area of the
diaphragm and solar plexus. Working your way up the spinal column can help stabilize the
nervous system. Pressing the following points for a good three minutes each time can help with
the symptoms to a considerable extent.

Pituitary.

Cerebrum.

Cerebellum.

Spine.

Kidney.

away when the disease sets in. Also, consider working on the reflexes of toes and colon which
can help in providing relief from the debilitating symptoms of the disease.
Relief from Symptoms of Parkinson
The benefits of massage therapy have long been recognized as beneficial for patients suffering
from Parkinsons disease. Because it is a disease marked by muscle stiffness and rigidity of body
movements. Massaging can help in alleviating muscle stiffness and joint stiffness. It is important
for the patient to feel sensation in the area that is massaged. Once the client feels sensation then
it is safe for the patient to undergo Parkinsons disease treatment. The practitioner must also
while undergoing the bodywork treatment continue to communicate with the patient to ensure a
positive experience. But before embarking on a treatment with the patient the practitioner must
understand the following:

Parkinsons disease is a central nervous system disorder and cannot be completely be

cured with the help of bodywork.

It is important to use reflexology in tandem with other medication to help with the
patient.

As the disease is synonymous with sudden jerky movements reflexologists must ensure
maximum precaution so that the patient remains calm and composed on the table while
the bodywork is practiced on him/her.

Reflexology and its Therapeutic Effect on Parkinsons disease

Reflexology has far-reaching effects on the disease. As it can reduce the effects of the disease
like headaches, pain aches, and chills and also help in inducing sleep. It can also increase energy
levels and enhance vitality strengthen the immune system and reduce stress levels to a great

But therapies like reflexology, regarded as complementary therapy gives the body a support and
assistance and the immune system a fillip that would help the body to fight the disease and also
help the body deal with the symptoms of Parkinsons disease. The stress, which is a constant
companion of these diseases, can be reduced to a c considerable extent and hence it is a focus on
the effective management of the diseases.

emotional and raise the feelings of the balance of body mind and soul. The stimulation of the
potent points on the body effectively restores the proper balance and also gives a boost to the
impact and targets the brain and the central nervous system. Reflexology and Parkinsons disease
go hand in hand to manage the symptoms which create a miserable atmosphere in the lives of the
patient who suffers from this auto-immune disorder. Reflexology particularly helps with the
painful spasms that accompany the disease. Reflexology restores the healing prowess of the body
and elevates it to a state that would help to it to reach the state of self-healing.
