Action Research Titled “Community-Based Healthcare Revolution: The Potential of Reflexology and Yoga”

August 22, 2022

Harmony conducted the independent action research from March to July 2023, exploring the potential of Traditional Complementary and Integrative Healthcare (TCIH) methods, particularly Reflexology and Yoga, as community-based healthcare approaches for adolescent girls in Dhaka slums. A five-member Harmony team engaged 29 girls as participants aged 13-18 using a multi-method approach, including in-depth interviews, case record reviews, and expert observation. Ten girls were designated as ‘Change Makers,’ receiving 24 training sessions to practice self-care techniques and support peers in improving healthcare outcomes under supervision.
