Diabetes
and Massage Therapy, Reflexology
Massage
therapy could be incorporated into relaxation therapy,
but it also serves another purpose that can be particularly
useful for diabetes sufferers. By skilfully kneading
the body’s tissue, massage can stimulate better
blood movement around the body. Improved circulation
can do wonders for diabetic neuropathy and other diabetes-related
complications.
Massage
takes many forms, some of which may be more suitable
for diabetics than others. Whilst some massages are
particularly oriented towards massage, others are
more specifically designed to reach different tissue
areas. Once again, it is suggested that you consult
closely with your healthcare team before using massage
therapy as a diabetic, even for relaxation purposes.
Reflexology is a form of massage based on a number
of bodily reflex points.
