In this week’s Pauls Presents, Paul & Fran discuss the impact stress has on the body, how reflexology can help, the current and upcoming research into reflexology and long covid, plus the beneficial effects it can have for cancer patients.
Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet. It’s based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems.
It is from the ancient Chinese belief in qi (pronounced “chee”), or “vital energy.” According to this belief, qi flows through each person. When a person feels stressed, their body blocks qi.
