Book excerpt: Medical Applications of Reflexology, Part 2, Findings in Research about Post-operative Care, Maternity Care, and Cancer Care provides detailed and usable information about the value of reflexology in a medical setting. Reflexology research conducted around the world shows the benefits to patients in three areas: post-operative care, maternity care, and cancer care. Research demonstrates that post surgical patients who receive reflexology work experience significant improvement adding to medical interventions to meet common concerns. Presented here is detailed information about reflexology technique application effectively: - easing pain while avoiding adverse effects of medications and adding to pain-killing efforts when medication alone is not enough - easing anxiety, common in post-surgical patients - speeding recovery, urinary and gastrointestinal functions as well as other effects - improved quality of life for patients, e.g. avoiding constipation and better sleep - improved patient satisfaction. 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. Research demonstrates that cancer patients who receive reflexology work experience significant improvements in physical and emotional symptoms: - chemotherapy (patients experience decreases in nausea, vomiting, anxiety, fatigue and depression) - cancer care (lessened pain, anxiety, stress, nausea and depression) - post-operative care (lessened pain and anxiety) - palliative/hospice care (alleviate fatigue, improve quality of sleep, provide support)/

Download or read book Clinical Reflexology E-Book written by Denise Tiran and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
