Some forty years had passed since his mother had worked on his feet when he went to bed every night, but my client had not forgotten. My reflexology work on his feet would put him to sleep in seconds with a smile on his face. He slept so soundly that only his own snoring would interrupt his slumber.
Reflexology serves as a unique tool to maintain or establish a link between adult and child.
The stress of growing, the stress of injury, the stress of life - reflexology can be used as a tool for parents or a child's significant adults to handle and dissipate the stresses of everyday life in a healthy way. The use of reflexology's natural touch provides an opportunity to build healthy and caring relationships with children. The child gains a sense of worth and well-being knowing that an adult cares and pays attention to his or her needs. As a bonus, the child learns healthful habits to apply throughout life by seeing and doing. There are many reasons why reflexology benefits children.
