Title: Tummy talk in Reflexology Practice: easing nausea and constipation
In Peter’s clinical work in cancer care and the hospice setting, patients frequently present with gut related challenges, from nausea to constipation. In this workshop he will describe the ‘vasomotoric cycle’ in relationship to the gut as the third nervous system. Peter, when working primarily with the feet/hands (and the whole person) is an avid fan of listening to peristalsis and other somatic cues – identifying reflex areas that promote calm, comfort and easing of gut related symptoms. Aside from ‘top tips’ he will guide participants through the ILU protocol for patient self-care, carer involvement at end-of-life, and as a ‘relaxer’ in your reflexology toolbox.
