Reflexology for faster recovery

Reflexology has been around for centuries. It was first used by the Egyptians and Asians for prevention of illness, and is continuing to be used today. In our experience using reflexology in plastic surgery, we’ve found it speeds up the recovery process.

Why is this? Reflexology brings about a natural, relaxed state, in which the body can begin to heal itself. Patients gain a more spiritual state of mind, and usually require less pain medication.

So, what is reflexology? There are over 700 points on the feet that correlate to every organ system we have in the body. By applying pressure to these points on the feet, the brain is triggered in such a way that improved energy flow, and healing can occur.

Here is a video with our old reflexologist, Tess DeGange. She has moved on to other things, but here she talks in depth on the practice as well as reflect on some patient experiences:

Our new reflexologist is Lisa Schwartz. We’ll have her on the radio show soon. What I love about Tess and Lisa is that they float. They have some of the best energy and really love taking care of people. It’s amazing to see the difference in patients after they have spent time with them.

Holistic Healing – The mind/body connection

How many of you believe that there’s a connection between what your mind believes and what you manifest in your life? Do you believe there is a mind/body connection?

I’ve felt this way since before I started practicing medicine. As I’ve explained before, the reason why I integrate the Whole Being Plan into my practice is because I have experienced and seen firsthand the power of thoughts and guided imagery affecting the healing process…some for the best and some for the worse.

My wife and I just covered this in our last episode of The Humanity Behind the Vanity. In the current issue of Yoga Journal, there’s an article talking about the very things we practice. Mentioned were focused breathing, guided imagery, visualization, affirmations and mantras, aromatherapy, and reflexology. All of these ideologies have been around and used for centuries in other parts of the world for healing purposes and general well being.

One of the biggest issues I’ve seen with patients that come in to see me is that some have no idea how to harness the personal healing power they have within themselves. This is why we have specialists in these areas to help assist in the process.

Watch as we talk about it more detail:

Ultimately, I want my patients to have the best experience possible, and going into surgery in the right frame of mind can make all the difference in the world. Please visit my website if you’d like to learn more or you can give us a call at 505-988-8886.
