| Reflexology |
|
Practiced in diverse cultures for centuries, Reflexology is a universally acclaimed healing art and science. For either preventative care or in response to physical or emotional distress, a reflexology session acts as a catalyst to aid the body towards its own natural healing process.
How Does It Work?
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art that is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every part of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural functioning of the body.
According to the American Journal of Medicine, stress is known to cause over 80% of all illnesses. Reflexology reduces stress automatically during a session, causing chemical changes to occur at the cellular level throughout the body. Through systematic pressure and stimulation of the reflexes, the body is assisted to return to its natural functioning by releasing endorphins, relaxing the nervous system, and increasing blood and lymphatic circulation.
What To Expect...
Reflexologists do not diagnose, prescribe or treat for specific conditions and should not be used as a substitute for necessary medical treatment. They treat the whole person and often work together with other medical and complementary therapies in order to achieve the best results for the client.
Technique should be firm but not painful, taking into consideration that tenderness and tension usually denote congestion in the corresponding part of the body. Sessions usually last 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Depending on the focus of the session, the number of sessions will vary. For a health problem, expect to commit to a series of 10 sessions before assessing results. However, it is not required to have a condition in order to benefit from reflexology - it's a wonderful way to feel better and to gain a sense of health and well-being.
