What is baby reflex?

How did it all begin?
Jenny Lee, MCSP MAR, who is both a Chartered Physiotherapist and a Qualified Reflexologist and Teacher, has been working with Mothers and young children for over fifteen years during which time she carried out a number of pilot studies in conjunction with children's GPs, designed to examine the effects of Reflexology on childhood asthma. The results of those studies revealed benefits of reduced asthma ; better sleep patterns ; greater ability to relax ; a much improved "quality of life ", and, perhaps most important of all, an enjoyment by those children, of the actual treatment of Reflexology.
Those results were so valuable to those children that Jenny decided to introduce this new and exciting concept for Reflexology, called "baby reflex".
