Help your clients to a better sleep

Insufficient sleep is a significant public health concern, weakening the immune system, increasing the risk of obesity, stress, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's, and other brain inflammatory disorders.

Did you know?

• The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is increased by approximately 50 percent in people who have difficulty falling asleep. 
  
  
• Individuals who sleep less than seven to eight hours per night have around a 50 percent increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and a 15 percent higher risk of stroke.

What actually happens at night?

A close look at the sleep-wake cycle, the intricate mechanism that controls the circadian rhythm, the role of melatonin and the pineal gland. 

How can we influence this with reflexology?

Client Handout

You will receive a Client Handout with advice based on the latest sleep research, including points on the feet and body as part of a sleep ritual.

Mental techniques are as effective as medication
Psychological sleep treatment typically involves combinations of various sleep therapy techniques, including sleep restriction, stimulus control therapy, cognitive techniques, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle advice on sleep.

Fascia connections diaphragm <> brain

Learn techniques to release this connection with reflexology.

The fascial system inside the brain is an integral part of the body wide fascia web.

We follow the connections from the brain, through the neck and throat, mediastinum and pericardium all the way to the respiratory diaphragm.

The dishwasher in the brain

New anatomical discoveries of the glymphatic system in the brain and a fourth meningeal membrane sheds new ligth on how the brain stays fresh.

Especially during deep sleep there is a significant exchange of fluid, effectively "cleaning" the brain cells.

Stimulating brain flow

Using the Karl-Axel Lind method's large brain reflexes on the plantar foot, we demonstrate techniques to effectively stimulate fluid circulation and cleansing of the brain.

Brain-Gut Axis

The brain-gut axis and its significance for mental imbalances, sleep, and brain disorders.

Do microbes in our gut affect how we sleep?
