About Morrell Reflex Touch

Morrell Reflex Touch is a gentle yet powerfully effective wholistic healing therapy, similar to Reflexology. It was originated by Patricia Morrell over 20 years ago (for more on this go to the History section of the website) and is internationally recognised by the Institute of Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM) and Complementary Medical Association (CMA).

A Morrell Reflex Touch treatment should be relaxing, soothing and deeply calming. The practitioner uses the patient's feet as the main point of contact, and works both physically, applying delicate pressure and manipulation to the feet, and non-physically, exploring and working with the patient's energy field. The technique uses the central nervous system to facilitate changes that restore balance throughout the many systems of the body, and stimulates the body's ability to heal itself.

Patients often describe treatments as deeply soothing, comforting, and restorative. Because of its gentle and delicate nature, Morrell Reflex Touch is safe for everyone, from babies and children to the elderly, from mums-to-be to the seriously ill, and often, indeed, for the dying. 

Informal and formal clinical trials at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary and the Prince of Wales Hospital, Cardiff demonstrated Morrell Reflex Touch's ability to effectively diagnose, reduce pain and balance blood pressure. Patients receiving treatment were discharged, on average, 3-5 days earlier than those in the control group. For more information about the clinical trials please go to the History section of the website.

Morrell Reflex Touch can give effective relief to a number of physical, stress related and chronic illnesses. These include relieving the symptoms and effects of such illnesses and conditions as:

1. Chronic conditions such as Parkinsons Disease and ME (aka ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome')
2. Hormonal conditions such as overactive and underactive Thyroid, imbalanced Ovary function, Menstrual problems and Prostate problems
3. Asthma, Bronchitis, Sinusitis and other respiratory conditions
4. Many stress related conditions such as Eczema, high blood pressure, Migraine, stomach ulcers, IBS and mild depression.
5. Physical conditions, relieving back and muscular pain including Sciatica and speeding recovery from injury.
6. Conditions effecting the auto-immune system such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sarcoidosis

As doctors increasingly recognise the role that stress plays in illness, with an estimated 75% or more of all illnesses being stress-related, perhaps an extra benefit of this wonderful therapy is its ability to enable the patient to feel relaxed, calm, soothed and comforted, reducing the physical, mental and emotional effects of stress upon their body.

Morrell Reflex Touch therapists' wholistic knowledge, training and approach to treatment enables them to use dietary advice, stress management techniques, deep relaxation and visualisation techniques to complement the physical therapy treatment, ensuring that the patient's well being is comprehensively considered and enhanced.

Morrell Reflex Touch enables the therapist to enhance their own innate healing skills and ability. Some will delve into the physical complexities of the body and ill-health and find in Morrell Reflex Touch a wonderful tool to reflect and affect the many processes the body uses in its own self-healing mechanisms.
