had anything to do with mind reading the altona lady realized she had her work cut out the publics unfamiliarity with this ancient chinese healing pro cess remains a stumbling block to widespread acceptance accord ing to mrs kerr who operates a whitchurchstouffville reflexolo gy practice at 40 main street east she says the most immediate benefit of reflexology is its promo tion of relaxation and if thats all the treatment did it would be well worth it mrs kerr adds because so many of our physical problems are stressrelated the reflexologist also claims the foot therapy helps stimulate circulation assists the body in achieving balance and is a natu ral means of promoting health i think anyone who has had an experience with reflexology is limit 10 bags per family purchase n 8 jih rsp

part is getting an often sceptic al public to give it a try zones reflexology is based on the pre mise that the right and left foot each comprises five zones and there are reflex points in the feet that correspond with each part of the human body according to theory the ther apy stimulates the reflexes in the feet to cause a healing influence in related areas of the anatomy for example in the middle of the big toe there is a reflex point that corresponds with the pituit ary gland the left and right foot each represent one side of the body with the centre point being the spine theres a direct correlation between whats happening in the body and the reflexes they have been able to find and determine in the feet explains mrs kerr obviously reflexology has some merit or else it wouldnt be gain ing the recognition that it is its not uncommon for nurses to study this technique independent ly to compliment their care of pa tients notes mrs kerr who was herself taught by a registered nurse people also have reflex points in the hands and head but these arent as readily accessible as the feet she says if anyone is interested in reflexology its important to seek a qualified practitioner if in doubt contact the reflexology association of canada rac for advice consults certified by rac mrs kerr works in close consultation with several local doctors the stouffville reflexologist stresses that she doesnt pre scribe or diagnose but will refer a client to the doctor if there appears to be a physical problem in one case a person nearly hit the roof when she reached the reflex point on the foot related to the ovary mrs kerr suggested the woman immediately consult a physician and soon afterward a cyst was found on one of her ovaries there are lot of theories why reflexology works but most im portant to me is the fact that it does work she says her services are also used by cancer patients to better manage pain reflexology arrived in the west ern world in the early 1900s though only over the last 20 years has it started gaining recognition as a viable treatment after completing a recent saturday morning appointment with weekender reporter chris shanahan mrs kerr surmised that the 26yearold scribe is in generally good condition howev er she recommended a little diet ary restraint and some work cop ing with stress you should know that 753 of adults in
