REFLEXOLOGY FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH

Menopause Reflexology is a unique and specific programme aimed to support ladies transitioning from perimenopausal symptoms  to menopause and beyond. It is unique in that it incorporates the face , hands and feet to harmonise the endocrine system, balance hormones and reduce stress and support the whole body.

The ideal rhythm is weekly treatments for 12  weeks, which is 3 months (or 12 sessions) and this  allows you to be taken on a wellness journey,  that is both healing and transformational for your  mind, body and soul and can also impact the way you look. Everyone wants to look good for  their age and this treatment can help you achieve this  naturally. Also Reflexology is complementary and not an alternative due to the therapy so it can be used alongside HRT if that's the route you choose.

 Many women experience symptoms and irregular periods for several years up to after the menopause itself. 

Stage 1- perimenopause

 Anxiety, dry skin, fatigue, feelings of bloating,  headaches, heart palpitations, heavy bleeding,  hot flushes, insomnia, irritability, decreased  libido, loss of concentration, mood swings, night  sweats, reduced stamina, urinary incontinence,  vaginal atrophy and weight gain. Vertigo is another  symptom. About 90% of women have changes  in menstruation, mood swings, skin changes, and  thinning hair  The amount of bleeding may increase or decrease.  Periods may become longer or shorter and  happen more or less often. Some women have  severe symptoms.  

Stage 2-  Menopause 

The absence of a period for one whole year. You can still experience the symptoms above

Stage 2 - Post Menopause

This is classed as the years after the menopause  and whilst symptoms will gradually decrease they can persist for a number of years.  The decline or absence of oestrogen can mean changes  to energy levels, memory, bone health, hormones, urinary and heart health.  Reduction in oestrogen increases the likelihood of cardiovascular  disease, osteoporosis and vaginal atrophy 

Premature Menopause occurs for different reasons however can cause an abrupt change to the hormone balance causing a sudden menopause.

All three reflexology zones can support your body to cope with these symptoms

Menopause AGE SPURT

 It is a natural process for the skin to age as the  dermis loses its capacity to produce collagen,  so the skin naturally becomes less elastic and  wrinkles of varying depth appear. Our skin  becomes drier, loses its elasticity and becomes  thinner. Our faces can age dramatically in a short period of time. This is most noticeable in peri-menopause  and Menopause when oestrogen levels often drops rapidly.  

The facial reflexology treatment can support you with this area and can be chosen as the first part of the zone face lift treatment

As well as Reflexology there are things you can do to help yourself:

The importance of diet, supplements, drinking plenty of water during the day, reducing alcohol and not smoking, supporting  the liver and exercise, all apply here and are equally beneficial and can even reverse some of  the effects of ageing.
