About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in reflexology and the instructor of the Certified Specialist Programme in Reflexology for Senior Pain Relief. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thank you for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: To start, could you share what drew you to reflexology, particularly focusing on senior pain relief? GUEST: Of course! I've always been fascinated by the power of touch and its impact on our well-being. Working with seniors, I saw a significant need for non-pharmacological approaches to manage their pain, which led me to specialize in reflexology for seniors. HOST: That's inspiring. Now, as a professional in this field, what current trends are you noticing in reflexology for senior pain management? GUEST: There's a growing interest in holistic and personalized care for seniors, and reflexology fits perfectly into that picture. Also, more healthcare professionals are recognizing the value of incorporating reflexology into their practice as a complementary therapy. HOST: That's great to hear. Now, teaching this specialized course might come with its own set of challenges. Could you share some of them and how you address them? GUEST: Absolutely. One challenge is helping students understand the unique needs of aging bodies. We tackle this by incorporating real-life case studies and hands-on workshops, so students can gain practical experience and confidence in their skills. HOST: It's essential to have that hands-on practice. Now, looking to the future, where do you see the role of reflexology in senior pain relief evolving? GUEST: I believe reflexology will become increasingly important as we seek more individualized, non-pharmacological approaches to senior care. As research continues to support its benefits, I expect to see reflexology more widely recognized and integrated into healthcare settings. HOST: That's a promising outlook. Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's been an enlightening conversation. GUEST: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure.
