Orthopädiezentrum Wien - Person erhält Reflexzonentherapie im Rahmen von ergänzenden und alternativen Therapien.

Reflex zone therapy

Reflexology, also known as reflex zone massage, is a holistic treatment method in which the entire body is positively influenced by stimulating certain reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears. This form of therapy is based on the assumption that certain zones on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to various organs and systems of the body. By applying targeted pressure to these reflex points, pain can be alleviated and the body's self-healing powers can be activated.

When is reflexology used?

Reflexology is used for various ailments and for general health promotion, including:

Pain relief: Headaches, migraines, back pain, joint pain
Stress and relaxation: Stress reduction, promotion of relaxation, improvement of sleep
Digestive problems: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diarrhea
Hormonal imbalances: Menstrual complaints, menopausal symptoms
Respiratory diseases: Asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis

The therapist will assess whether further sessions are necessary and how reflexology can be integrated into your overall health or rehabilitation plan. Additional recommendations may include relaxation exercises, specific techniques for daily life, or other therapeutic measures to optimize the results.
