Round About: Anxiety – Reflexology as a Gateway to Calm
Anxiety has become one of the most common challenges of our uncertain times. Up to one in four people experiences restlessness, shallow breathing, digestive discomfort, constant tension — and many other symptoms rooted in anxiety.
There is growing interest in manual therapy modalities, and emerging research*) suggests their potential to help alleviate anxiety.
For reflexologists, this offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate the power of working through the feet — supported by the natural grounding effect they provide.
Anxiety Is Deeply Rooted in the Body
This webinar explores how anxiety is stored and expressed through the body — in fascia, breath, the gut, and the nervous system.
You’ll learn practical reflexology techniques designed to help release anxiety-related stagnation and re-establish a healthy flow in the fascial network.
Beyond techniques, we’ll also reflect on:
- How to meet anxious clients with sensitivity and presence
- How to support someone experiencing a panic attack
- Simple lifestyle tools that promote calm and resilience
