What is Reflexology

Reflexology is a 5000-year old system first used in China that is well-suited to modern life. It’s similar to acupuncture in that it features manipulation of pressure points, but it does not require the use of needles. Instead, the foot is viewed as a “mini-map” of the body, with every section of the foot corresponding to an organ or a gland, which can be manipulated by hand.

What can this therapy treatment do for me?

A trained Reflexologist knows that the body's waste products can form deposits on nerve endings, which in turn can block the natural flow of energy to other parts of the body. For example, our feet alone have over seven thousand nerve endings. The manifestation of deposit blockage can lead to pain or functional limitations elsewhere such as the neck or back. The body's natural healing ability is impaired.

           Reflexology practitioners will provide knowledgeable gentle stimulation of nerve endings to increase blood circulation, which leads to elimination of toxins via the lymphatic circulation path. Thus, the body is encouraged to heal itself naturally.

           Reduction of stress is achieved due to the deep, satisfying relaxation, which usually occurs during treatment. Our emotions are tied to our body feelings and therefore a state of physical relaxation can produce significant reduction of mental stress.

What to Expect?

On your first visit you and your practitioner will discuss what you wish to get out of your session. For example, you may discuss relevant information regarding injuries, stress, sleep disorder, illness or disease. Problem areas are noted and treatment begins.

             Your treatment is typically an hour or longer depending on what you and the practitioner agree upon. Continued dialogue after the first treatment will give your practitioner important information on how your body is responding. The goal is to provide safe and effective treatment, which encourages your body to harmonize imbalances and restore the natural healing paths your body requires.
