Research demonstrates that cancer patients who receive reflexology work experience significant improvements in physical and emotional symptoms, being provided with help in the management of symptoms and the side effects of chemotherapy. That research is reported here in Medical Application of Reflexology: Findings in Research about Cancer. Studies from eleven countries show improvements for patients during all aspects of the cancer experience: Chemotherapy Symptoms are lessened for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy when reflexology is applied. Results from research show patients experience decreases in nausea, vomiting, anxiety, fatigue and depression. Management of symptoms during cancer care Management of symptoms is improved for cancer patients receiving reflexology as demonstrated by research. Lessened pain, anxiety, stress, nausea and depression was realized by hospitalized patients with implications for use of reflexology at home by trained family members. Post-operative care Studies show that reflexology application post-operatively results in lessened pain and anxiety for cancer patients. Palliative/hospice care Reflexology use for cancer patients in hospice or palliative care helps reduce physical and emotional symptoms, alleviate fatigue, improve quality of sleep as well as providing a method to experience a helping presence when applied by a family member."

Reflexology has significant effects for women during all phases of the maternity experience. Presented here are details from twenty-two studies from seven countries. Researchers find reflexology to be a non-invasive and safe intervention for women during maternity. Presented here is detailed information about reflexology technique application effectively helping during: - pregnancy (easing symptoms) - delivery (shorter duration for labor and pain reduction) - postpartum care: anxiety and depression; initiating lactation more quickly and more successfully; helping with return to normalcy for urination and defecation. Detailed here is how long and how frequently reflexology has been applied to effectively help cancer patients in the management of symptoms and the side effects of chemotherapy.

This book succinctly introduces the benefits of foot reflexology and acupressure, the required tools and the theory behind the science. With 77 reflex zones and 66 acupressure points, the soles of the feet are essentially a map to the human body—each one corresponds to an organ, muscle or other potential problem area. By implementing reflexology and acupressure techniques, you may be able to alleviate pain and discomfort, fatigue, stress and symptoms of chronic disease. These techniques can be done anytime and anywhere, and require just a few minutes a day. With easy-to-understand language and more than 200 color photos and diagrams—including computer-generated maps to help you locate the points on your own feet—this book is a comprehensive introduction to reflexology and acupressure for beginners (or for those who don't have time to go to reflexology or acupuncture appointments). Can be used in conjunction with Hand Reflexology & Acupressure.

Clinical Reflexology takes the practitioner on a journey of examination, critical review and debate prior to making recommendations for best practice in reflexology. The phenomenal rise in interest by health professionals in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), and in particular touch therapies, has led to a need for texts that relate and integrate theory and practice to health care settings. Clinical Reflexology does this, expanding and exploring concepts introduced in the first edition. Many CAM books have been written for therapists working in private practice but many of these practitioners are also now working in healthcare settings. This book allows both groups to facilitate the greater integration of clinical reflexology in clinical practice. The book is divided into two sections. The first deals with key themes, including an up-to-date review of the research evidence and appropriate methodology, safe and supported practice and integration issues. All these themes are explored and discussed utilizing the available literature, analysis of models and concepts and are related specifically to health care practice. The second section focuses on the clinical application of reflexology and how it can be best adapted to the context. The contributors are committed pioneers in their field with a track record of integrating reflexology within clinical settings. Many are teachers, coordinators of therapy services and supervisors. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Dr Peter Mackereth is the Clinical Lead for Complementary Therapies and Smoking Cessation Services at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Manchester.
