The Western Mail of Wales reports that reflexology "is helping women overcome stress, anxiety and depression associated with infertility problems..."Reflexology is commonly used as a fertility aid in Denmark where one in four women will undergo sessions. It is being offered by fertility clinics as a means of increasing the success of infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF)." Cardiff-based fertility reflexology Helen Talfryn Walters has specialized in fertility and pregnancy treatments for three years. She says, "'The majority of women I see have unexplained fertility issues and the reasons can be numerous. The advantage of reflexology is that it is a holistic therapy which looks at the woman's well-being beyond the most obvious symptoms..."'Often my clients have very high stress levels either as a lifestyle issue or as a result of the disappointment of not being able to conceive. Stress has a major physical effect on the body - it depletes it of essential nutrients and upsets the delicate hormonal balance of the reproductive system. But Helen said it also helps the body to make best use of nutrients and stimulates the lymphatic system so that the body alienates toxins..."Helen added, 'It's not a quick fix treatment and can in may cases involve my clients taking responsibility for their health by making changes to their diet and lifestyle. The natural outcome is a healthier, happier woman who is more likely to conceive, enjoy her pregnancy and have the energy to look after a healthy, happy baby.'"

Consumers increasingly seek hand reflexology techniques and services for hands weary from over-use at work or play. For some, hand over-use results from a day poised over the computer keyboard at work. For others, texting with a cell phone creates over-work of thumbs and hands. Hours of play with video games produces further over-use. In addition, for the aging population, keeping hands mobile is crucial to button buttons, zip zippers and the myriad of activities needed to maintain one's ability to live independently.
