WHETHER you’re a pro athlete or a just a weekend warrior trying to stay healthy, incorporating reflexology into your fitness programme can provide key benefits.

Reflexology aims to reduce the effects of stress and tension on the body. Life stress has been shown to be inhibitory to muscle repair, so reducing stress can aid recovery and moderate energy, fatigue and soreness.

One of the main results after a reflexology treatment is a deep feeling of relaxation and release of tension and stress.

It also may help with sleep patterns, which are sometimes disrupted during heavy training periods. This means the body can function more effectively, as a tense body is not an efficient one.

Sarah Crossman at Life Reflexology says: “When looking at post-race recovery, the optimal days for having a treatment would be on a rest day and in the first four days after the race. Research shows us stress impairs healing in the first 96 hours after damage and so reducing stress will allow for optimum repair.”
