Facial Reflexology |

Lone Sorensen LopezLone began her studies of reflexology in Denmark in 1978 and was one of the first in the country to study the discipline. She also studied acupuncture and laser therapy and ran a clinic and school in Denmark for 10 years. Lone was always interested in facial acupressure points because of the success of her work with children with learning difficulties and hyperactivity. With these particular children, Lone used a combination of 16 facial pressure points together with foot reflexology. She found that working on the face gave results more quickly and believes that facial reflexology is effective because it works in such close proximity to the brain and central nervous system. Later Lone moved to Argentina where reflexology was virtually unknown. She began to practice and teach and remained in Argentina for twelve and a half years, founding three schools of facial and foot reflexology there, and she has treated and supervised treatments of more than 100,000 patients during these years. During her stay she visited a mountain town called Copahue, and it was there that she learned a zone therapy technique from the South American Indians which she now uses as a diagnostic tool. During her further travels to Cuba, Lone learned a system using 564 nerve points and an oriental system of charting the face to reflex body organs and systems, developed by Dr Chau, a Vietnamese doctor. She combined this knowledge with the Indian technique and the acupuncture points and experience into treatments as well. Following these years of research, Lone began to work with the Dr Philipe Pinel Institute in Buenos Aires, developing new therapies for brain-damaged children. With a system called temprana stimulating (early stimulation), she has achieved excellent results. She never claims to be able to cure, but has been able to help patients who were unable to walk, talk or eat, to regain these faculties - thus improving their quality of life. She has also helped coma patients and people suffering with conditions such as MS, Downs and Motor Neuron Disease. The more serious the disease or condition, the more intensive the treatment. Lone has worked three hours a day, seven days a week on some of the more acute cases. She also trains parents and carers in the method so that they can continue treatments at home and provide the regularity and continuity needed to gain optimum results. In 2001 Lone was presented with three honary titles from OHMS in Argentina. She is the first reflexologist in the world to achieve this award for work in zone therapy and reflexology. |
