Reflexology given to patients suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
An account of when reflexology was available for asylum seekers at CHAP
Between June 2017 and January 2018 reflexology was given to a small number of asylum seekers in Cardiff who were referred by staff at the Cardiff Health Access Project (CHAP) service. The reflexology offer was set up on a wholly voluntary basis, initially whilst I was training as a reflexologist and continuing when I qualified. Sixteen patients received sessions over the course of 8 months totaling 78 hours of reflexology.
After a series of sessions all those who attended rated a small improvement in their wellbeing.
