Do you have continuing problems with stress and pain or any other health concerns? Reflexology has become an increasingly popular form of treatment. It is now recognized and accepted by many health organizations as an alternative or complementary form of health care for a variety of ailments. Today we are exposed to high levels of stress in our jobs, our homes and travels. Stress is without a doubt one of the main causes of physical and mental pain and suffering. Since 75% of all health problems are linked to stress, Reflexology has become invaluable in this day and age. Reflexology is a process of helping the body better adapt to stress. People are turning more and more to this safe and natural therapy as a way of relaxing, restoring and revitalizing the body. It is thought that illness occurs when “energy channels” in the body are blocked causing damage. Reflexology is aimed at clearing these blocks, allowing energy to flow freely and to heal the damage. When stagnant energies are released, this activates the body’s natural healing abilities. Many people find that Reflexology is an extremely relaxing and pleasurable experience WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY? Reflexology is the art of stimulating the thousands of sensitive nerve endings; known as reflexes in the feet that correspond to all glands, organs, parts and systems within the body. These reflex points are similar to those used in acupuncture and acupressure. This form of pressure-oriented massage is applied to the whole foot which represents a mini-map or micro-system of the whole body. It is a system that focuses on the whole body, not just the feet. Reflexology is an ancient holistic medicine that was practiced thousands of years ago by many civilizations. This ancient healing technique has developed today into a modern and well-recognized therapy throughout the world as one of nature’s most effective ways of healing. HOW DOES REFLEXOLOGY WORK ? This timeless art of massage involves a therapeutic technique of steady pressure on a particular area of the foot, the part of the body represented by that area would be stimulated as well as locating and alleviating congested and/or tension areas. A Reflexology Practitioner’s sensitive trained hands can detect and clear crystalline deposits under the skin that interfere with the vital pathways of the energy meridians. This allows not only symptoms to be treated, but also their causes. For each individual the application of appropriate pressure and effect is unique. Pamper yourself, your friends and loved ones to this highly effective stress reducing therapy. |
