6 Reflexology It is thought that the entire body can be treated by applying pressure to specific areas on the feet Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones and reflexes in different parts of the body that correspond to and are relative to all parts, glands, and organs of the entire body The manipulation of specific reflexes removes stress, placing the body in a parasympathetic healing state and enabling the disharmonies to be released by a physiologic change in the body All items and derived items 2015, 2011, 2006 by Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 16 Question 2 Reflexology is used as an alternative therapy because: 1. the reflexologist manipulates specific reflexes to relieve stress. 2. reflexology is relaxing. 3. pure oils are used with reflexology to provide health benefits. 4. reflexology is contraindicated for infectious skin diseases All items and derived items 2015, 2011, 2006 by Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

All rights reserved. 20 Relaxation Therapy Relaxation is the state of generalized decreased cognitive, physiologic, or behavioral arousal The process of relaxation elongates the muscle fibers, reduces the neural impulses sent to the brain, and thus decreases the activity of the brain and other body systems It decreases heart and respiratory rates, blood pressure, and oxygen consumption The long-term goal of relaxation therapy is for the person to continually monitor him- or herself for indications of tension and then consciously let go and release the tension All items and derived items 2015, 2011, 2006 by Mosby, Inc., an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
