Treating Depression
with Reflexology
​
To relieve symptoms of depression, a reflexology session may be focused on stimulating points which correspond to the glands that regulate neurotransmitter and hormone release in the body. These glands can include the adrenal, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pineal, and pituitary glands.
A course of 6-8 weekly treatments are recommended to feel the benefits of reflexology. Small changes to your lifestyle will make a big improvement to your mental wellbeing. After the treatment we can discuss the possible changes that could help and devise a plan if necessary.
