applicable statutes of Ontario;

reflexologists in the province of Ontario; and;
· such other complementary purposes not inconsistent
with these objectives.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, usually
directed at the feet or hands. It is based on the
premise that there are zones and reflexes on
different parts of the body which corresponds to and
are relative to all parts, glands and organs of the
entire body.
How Does It Work?
When the reflexes are stimulated, the body's natural
electrical energy works along the nervous system to
clear any blockages in the corresponding zones. A
reflexology session seems to break up deposits (felt
as a sandy or gritty area under the skin) which may
interfere with this natural flow of the body's
energy.
Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress,
activating a parasympathetic response in the body to
enable the disharmonies to be released by a
physiological change in the body. With stress
removed and circulation improved, the body is
allowed to return to a state of homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the "automatic" process that the body
incorporates to bring it back to the "normal" state.
For example, if the blood pressure is abnormal, the
kidneys will secrete the enzyme renin which is
involved with blood pressure, and the hormone,
erythropoietin that increases the rate of red blood
cell production.
What Are The Benefits?
Reflexology demonstrates four (4) main benefits:
Relaxation with the removal of stress.
Enhanced circulation.
Assists the body to normalize metabolism naturally.
Complements all other healing modalities.
Indications and Reasons for Referral:
Types of people seeking reflexology sessions are of
all ages, but approximately 70% are females. These
people are usually health conscious and wish to
explore health alternatives. The vast majority of
clients usually realize the benefits of reducing
stress from a reflexology session which in turn
minimizes physical symptoms.
Usually, referrals are made in conjunction with
other existing forms of therapy to supplement
ongoing medical treatments. Reflexology has been
known to help clients deal with physiological
symptoms such as the side effects of cancer
chemotherapy.
Reflexology may be performed on everyone, from the
newborn to the elderly. It can be used for a general
"tune-up" or for an unhealthy body. It can be used
throughout pregnancy, or pre surgically and post
surgically. In all cases, common sense should be
used in selecting this therapy.
