Reflexology

Reflexology is a specialized foot therapy that applies a firm walking motion pressure to the feet. It is based on the premise that the foot has reflexes that mirror the rest of the body. It has been shown to reduce symptoms.

OTHER

Meditative Practices

Meditative Practices include elements of meditation, gentle yoga and breathing exercises. These practices focus purposeful attention to the present moment and have been shown to enhance one's ability to adapt to serious health concerns
