Hormonal imbalances and menopausal support

Hormonal imbalance can affect many aspects of physical and emotional wellbeing, from menstrual regularity to sleep, mood, and energy levels. Reflexology for hormonal support is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and rebalance hormonal activity over time.

At The Northgate Clinic, this treatment is commonly used to support menstrual health and hormonal balance at different life stages. It is based on the understanding that hormonal imbalances are closely connected with raised stress levels. By supporting regulation of the autonomic nervous system, which is particularly sensitive to stress, reflexology can help calm the body’s stress response. This soothing effect may support healthier cortisol patterns and encourage the adrenal system to release hormones that promote relaxation, helping the body move towards greater hormonal balance.

Benefits of reflexology for hormonal balance

Reflexology is widely used to support hormonal regulation by encouraging relaxation and nervous system balance. By calming stress responses, treatments can help support more regular menstrual cycles and ease symptoms linked to hormonal fluctuation. Many people find reflexology helpful for reducing tension, improving sleep, and supporting emotional stability, all of which play an important role in hormonal health. Regular sessions may help the body respond more adaptively to internal hormonal changes, supporting overall wellbeing and resilience.

Menopausal support

Reflexology is also commonly used to support people during the menopausal transition, a time when changing and fluctuating hormone levels can affect both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing. By helping to support hormonal regulation and nervous system balance, this treatment may help smooth the transition into menopause.

Many clients seek reflexology support for symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, mood changes, and joint discomfort. While experiences vary, a programme of hormonal rebalancing treatments is often valued for helping make these symptoms more manageable, supporting comfort, rest, and emotional steadiness during this period of change.
