A London-based company, Bud-Umbrella, is gearing up to test the alternative therapy in 60 primary and 14 secondary schools to see whether or not it can actually improve unruly children’s behaviour.

Though there is little evidence that such a treatment can improve behaviour, Lambeth Council in south London is said to have decided to spend £90,000 next year on reflexology in the schools. Bud-Umbrella’s official website says that reflexology may be beneficial in a number of ways.

“It can calm aggressive feelings, improve listening skills, concentration and focus. It can relieve anxiety and stress, and improve confidence and self esteem,” the Telegraph quoted the website as saying.

Lambeth Labour councillor Paul McGlone said: “It’s incredibly important that we address young people’s behavioural problems and we make no apologies for using different and innovative methods but this obviously won’t replace more traditional ways of dealing with anti-social behaviour. We need to deal with the root causes of young people’s behavioural problems and nip them in the bud – prevention is better than cure.” However, everyone is not gaga about the initiative.
