Pain, Stress and the Inflammatory response
Join me to find out:
why stress is a major factor in the inflammatory response
how stress can affect the whole pain experience.
mind-body connections
clinical evaluation of pain
the best treatment combinations using nerve reflex points, classic reflexology and holding techniques.
This introductory workshop will lead you through the indicators of the stress response and how it can increase pain; why cortisol can be both friend and foe and how a few simple reflexology techniques can help reduce the inflammatory impact. Based on my 8 years of research at the University of Portsmouth these techniques have proven successful in lowering heart rate, and inducing relaxation; key indicators of the stress response.
