Reflexology -This is a method of influencing active points on the patient's body, the oldest oriental method of treatment, confirmed by modern clinical studies.

​

Man is not just a biological object, but a complex self-regulating system. Management in this system is carried out with the help of energy relationships that have a stimulating or blocking effect on an organ or tissue. Each organ on the skin corresponds to special zones reflexively associated with it.

​

In addition, according to the principles of Oriental medicine, twelve energy channels with biologically active points pass through the human body. If inflammation occurs in any organ, then there will be an excess of energy at the corresponding points, and if the organ does not cope with its function, then there will be a lack. By influencing points, you can speed up or slow down the movement of energy in energy channels in such a way as to bring the entire system into balance, which contributes to the restoration of health. This is what reflexology treatments are aimed at.

​

Reflexology includes a number of different diagnostic and therapeutic effects on a person:

• Acupuncture, acupuncture (zhen-jiu) is a method of treatment, rooted in antiquity. Based on the introduction of thin needles into acupuncture (biologically active points) of the human body;

• Auriculotherapy is a type of reflexology in which the effect is on active points located on the surface of the ear. Used in ancient China, this technique was later forgotten and again restored in the 20th century by the French physician Paul Nogier;

• acupressure - a method of treatment by pressing fingers on certain points of the body, acupressure. There are a lot of active points in certain places of the body, and acupressure with one pressure allows you to act simultaneously on several such points;

• electropuncture - the impact of electric current on biologically active points. This method - microcurrent reflexology, combines the advantages of traditional oriental medicine and achievements in the field of biophysics. All processes in the body are accompanied by weak electric currents. The use of external current sources normalizes the functioning of organs and systems;

• magnetopuncture - exposure to the body with constant or alternating magnetic fields. This leads to an acceleration of the movement of ions at the acupuncture point, which activates metabolic processes and accelerates the filling of cells with oxygen;

• laser reflexology (laser puncture, photopuncture) – laser irradiation of acupuncture points. The laser beam activates the body's natural defenses. Improves immunity, increases resistance to inflammation, pain, allergies;

• EHF reflexotherapy (millimeter therapy) is an extremely high-frequency therapy. The impact is produced using high-frequency current pulses with a short wavelength. Hardware control of the impact force provides the maximum therapeutic effect;

• phonopuncture - treatment with ultrasound or mechanical vibrations of a very high frequency. Similar to needles in acupuncture, ultrasound has an analgesic effect, enhances the adsorption-trophic function of tissues, improves regional blood circulation, stimulates regenerative processes in organs and tissues;

• apyreflexotherapy - treatment with bee stings with strict dosing of substances entering the body through such a sting.

 

Reflexology is effective if you:

• migraine;

• angina;

• arrhythmia;

• chronic gastritis;

• chronic constipation;

• diseases of ENT organs;

• convulsive syndrome, etc.

 

With the help of reflexology, you can cope with the pain that accompanies a number of diseases. Therefore, methods of influencing acupressure points are widely used in neurology. Acupuncture will help you cope with the manifestations of osteochondrosis, with neuralgia and neuritis, with the consequences of brain injuries. In addition, you will significantly save on medical treatments, because neurological drugs are very expensive. There are situations when acupuncture is the only really effective method of treatment.

Contraindications for reflexology are of a general nature:

• benign and malignant tumors;

• active form of tuberculosis;

• alcohol intoxication;

• pregnancy;

• mental arousal;

• fever;

• circulatory decompensation (for acupuncture).

 

Reflexology is desirable to use separately from other physiotherapy procedures, however, it goes well with manual therapy, osteopathy and massage.
