			<description>&#60;p&#62;Eğer genlerinizde saç köklerinizin dayanıksız olduğu yazılıysa bir diğer deyiş ile ailevi etkilerden dolayı kel kalma ihtimaliniz yüksekse bu durumun aksine çevrilmesi mümkün olmamaktadır. Saç kökleri canlı olan ve zaman içerisinde saç ekimi bu özelliğini yitiren bir yapıdır. Eğer kökleriniz bir bir düşmeye başlarsa sizde yavaş yavaş kel kalıyorsunuz demektir. Bu sebepten yapılması gereken en önemli şey saçlarınız dökülmeye başladıktan hemen sonra bu konuda uzman bir doktora başvurmak olmalıdır. Aynı şekilde saç ekimi merkezleri piyasada bulunan bazı şampuan ve serumlarında etkili bir şekilde saç ekim saç köklerinin dökülmesini engellediği bilinmektedir. Saç köklerinin dökülmesinin engellenemez boyutlara gelmesi sonrasında ise saç ekilmesi mecburi duruma gelmektedir. Bu konuda da uzman bir doktora başvurmanız büyük bir önem taşımaktadır.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I've just started doing my case studies as part of my reflexology training. If a client has metal screws in her leg would this be a contraindication to treatment? And if so, why? Any advice gratefully received. My tutor says metal implants are a contrindication but isn't sure about screws/pins.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I have a long standing client who has been trying to conceive for over 2 years.  She has almost given up on having a baby but still wants to continue with reflexology because she loves it sooo much!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;She has since found out that all the while she was receiving reflexology, her problem was actually endometriosis and that the clinic she attended failed to let her know!  Whilst initially against having IVF she now feels that it's her best chance of conception given this new information.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;She wants to carry on with reflexology during IVF and was wondering whether anyone has had any successful outcomes and, if so, what was the approach?

2. Rotate on the ICV (to flush the small intestine);&#60;br /&#62;
3. Thumb walk up the ascending colon to the hepatic flexure;&#60;br /&#62;
4. Rotate on the hepatic flexure;&#60;br /&#62;
5. Thumb walk with rotations across the transverse colon over to the left foot;&#60;br /&#62;
6. Rotate on the spelenic flexure;&#60;br /&#62;
7. Thumb walk down the descending colon and across to the rectum.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Repeat several times.  In terms of pressure, follow the client's preference and make sure that the pressure is lighter going over the tendon.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;LI-4 is a powerful acupressure point that is useful for constipation as well as working the stomach meridian from the knee to the toe.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I've been treating a client with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's who's been trying to get pregnant.  Following several reflexology treatments she developed some painful nodules on her lower legs and feet, with some light bruising.  I continued to treat her but avoided the painful nodules.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I have since discovered that the condition is something called Erythema Nodosum.....the nodules have now disappeared and she is also now pregnant!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Has anyone else come across this condition before?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Recent years have seen a huge increase in, and use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), for a number of reasons:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;GPs have little time to devote to their patients conventional healthcare has become more impersonal;&#60;br /&#62;Patients are concerned about the increasing use of powerful drugs;&#60;br /&#62;Many conditions such as asthma, arthritis or back pain do not respond satisfactorily to conventional treatment;&#60;br /&#62;Patients are better informed and more willing to try alternative therapies;&#60;br /&#62;Complementary therapists are providing an increasingly professional service;&#60;br /&#62;The medical profession has acknowledged the benefit to patients of providing both conventional and complementary treatment;&#60;br /&#62;The number of complementary therapists has grown, so that people can more easily access them.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Reflexology is becoming increasingly popular. Currently only the osteopathic and chiropractic professions are regulated by law.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;However, many complementary therapists in all disciplines have been pushing for regulation to be introduced. Statutory regulation would help therapists to reassure both potential clients and medical practitioners that they have received training to a certain standard and that they comply with a code of practice. The Department of Health recently published proposals for how acupuncture and herbal medicine could be regulated, and the Reflexology Forum, formally launched in 2002, is working towards self-regulation for the whole reflexology profession, including a national register of reflexologists. The Forum has representatives from a number of reflexology organisations, including the Association of Reflexologists and the British Reflexology Association. In October 2007 the General Regulatory Council for Complementary Therapies (GRCCT) was launched to establish a national register of therapists, including reflexologists. An alternative body - the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) was set up in April 2008 to also maintain a voluntary register of qualified complementary and natural therapists. This was opened to reflexologists in January 2009. At some stage in the future this may be supported by the professional reflexology associations.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Although demand for reflexology appears to be strong, it is important to considerthe following:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There is enough demand in your area to support your proposed practice;&#60;br /&#62;You will be able to compete against existing reflexologists and other complementary therapists in your area;&#60;br /&#62;You will be able to weather the current downturn in the economy - most clients pay for reflexology treatments themselves and in times of economic recession are likely to cut back on expenditure wherever possible.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Keeping up to date with developments&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Joining a trade association is an excellent way of keeping up with developments in your industry. There are very many associations that represent the interests of reflexologists. A number of these are members of the Reflexology Forum, whose aim is to introduce self-regulation into the profession to make sure that consistently high standards are maintained.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Some of the organisations representing reflexologists are:&#60;br /&#62;The Association of Reflexologists (AOR). The AOR publishes a quarterly Journal&#60;br /&#62;The International Institute of Reflexology&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Other organisations of interest to reflexology practitioners include:&#60;br /&#62;The Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM)&#60;br /&#62;The British Complementary Medicine Association (BCMA)&#60;br /&#62;The Prince of Wales's Foundation for Integrated Health&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Subscribing to a professional journal is another excellent way of keeping up with developments in your industry. The British Reflexology Association publishes the Footprints newsletter for practitioners in the UK.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I've been treating a client for some.  Although she came to see me initially for anxiety and depression, she also had problems with chronic lower back pain. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As well as working on the anxiety and depression,which improved dramatically after several visits, she asked me if I could help her with her lower back problem.  I have had no success to date and if anything her back pain is getting worse!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The site of her pain is easily identifiable as she leaps out of the chair when I'm, around L5,S1 on the spinal reflex.  There is also a redness in the area indicating inflammation.  I've been working around the area of pain and redness......is this correct as I feel that I may be causing too much nerve stimulation and adding to inflammation that's aready there....can anyone help?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I just wanted to share a simple technique using crystals in reflexology.  Has anyone else used any other techniques using crystals in reflexology?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;First select a quartz crystal which has a very good polished/smooth single-terminated point.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Then remove socks, tights and/or footwear. Instructions below are for someone giving a crystal reflexology treatment to a 'client' - but this method is just as easily administered and just as effective if you are treating yourself. Also keep in mind that stimulating reflexes on the hands will work just as well as using foot reflexes - it is really your preference!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Crystal reflexology treatments may either be done lying on a massage couch or sitting in a comfortable chair. When using the latter method you yourself need to sit on a stool so that you can place your client's feet upon your lap. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In crystal reflexology, however, we do not need to be quite as precise in identifying reflexes as in standard reflexology. First, naturally, we must program our healing quartz crystal to re-balance any imbalances which might be discovered in the client's body as the treatment proceeds. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Using the single-terminated end of the quartz crystal very gently - and without pressing too deep into the skin - start to rotate the crystal in a clockwise direction just lightly pushing into the skin.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Starting with the soles of the left foot, the crystal is moved slowly around to the sides, lightly touching the skin all the time, and then on to the upper part of the foot. All movements should be both slow and deliberate. Make sure that you cover all the surface of the foot. Then on to the right foot......&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Whenever you obtain a reaction from the client,spend a few moments directing crystalline healing energy into the appropriate reflex point.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As the crystal reflexology treatment ends, takes the quartz crystal and lightly runs it over the entire surface of the foot; on the soles and on the upper part of both feet.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As a rough time-guide I would suggest that you spend around thirty minutes per foot but naturally this is completely flexible depending upon what you find and upon the needs of your client!

			<description>&#60;p&#62;There have been several great articles recently in the Reflexions magazine, which have useful information on how best to market your services.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;These articles talk about 'word of mouth', advertising in magazines and news papers and using websites to promote your sevices and build up your brand.
