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.

You will gain an understanding of:
  • Stress - the good, the bad and the inflammatory
  • Cortisol - friend or foe?
  • Stress induced analgesia/hyperalgesia
  • Vagal activity - interacting with the brain
  • Psycho-neuro-immunological events - what are they?
  • Practical skills for stress induced hyperalgesia
  • Combining classic and nerve reflexology techniques to increase effectiveness
