Reflexology
Foot and Hand Reflexology is based on the premise that there are zones
and reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all body parts. The
physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques
results in stress reduction, causing a physiological change in the body.
Reflexology is not to be confused with massage.
Why Reflexology?
When we don't handle stress well, the body's
defenses breakdown and we become more susceptible to illness. Stress and tension
tighten up the cardiovascular system and restrict blood flow. By reducing stress
and tension, Reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow
of blood naturally and easily.
Nervous people pace back and forth; wring their hands; rub hands together; bite
their nails and some even handle worry beads and/or rocks. Unknowingly they
are relieving tensions by working the reflexes. Reflexology is a systematic
method of removing stress which aids in the maintenance of optimal health.
What is a treatment like?
You will lie on your back on
a reclining chair, face up, with your shoes and socks removed. You will
be made comfortable while listening to soft music. Aromatherapy may be diffused
in the room to aid relaxation and increase your senses. Both patient and reflexologist
must be positioned comfortably to ensure maximum relaxation. A reflexologist
will generally work on the bare feet, but if this is not possible, the treatment
can be given on the hands.
Can reflexology make a condition worse?
No. Reflexology helps nature to normalize body functions. It is a safe, effective way to better health.
How can reflexology benefit me?
Not only will you feel more relaxed and comforted, but your entire body will respond to the experience. You'll be surprised at how a quality reflexology session will relax your entire body.
