Reflexology
Reflexology is a healing art and a scientific principal - not a foot massage. The Reflexologist applies pressure to reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that correspond to a specific organ, gland, or body part. The thumb and finger-walking techniques used in reflexology involve direct application to the sensory nerves.
These nerve pathways create an electro-chemical flow that communicates with the entire nervous system. The sensory nerves carry information to the brain while the motor nerves carry information to the body, resulting in the release of essential chemicals that the body utilizes for health and well-being.
Studies have found that Reflexology relieves stress and tension, stimulates deep relaxation, improves the blood supply and brings balance to the entire body. It can assist the body with the following ailments:
- asthma
- stress
- depression
- high blood pressure
- neurological problems
- chronic pain
- gastrointestinal disorders
- pain
- recovery from surgery
- hormone imbalances
