Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic and non-invasive bodywork approach that encourages the release of accumulated stress and stimulates the body’s innate healing response. As balance is restored, physiological changes in the body are effected. These include, but are not limited to stress reduction, the improvement of nerve function and circulation, which in turn, increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body and aid in the elimination of toxins and waste products.
How Does Reflexology Work?
Reflexology, an ancient art practiced by all cultures, is a science based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands, which correspond to all glands, organs, parts and systems of the body. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to these reflex areas results in the reduction of stress, which promotes physiological changes in the body.
Each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. This type of drugless therapy creates a physiological change in the body by naturally improving your circulation, which reduces your body tension and enhances relaxation. It aids in the elimination of body waste and restoring the body functions to better health.
Is Reflexology Different From Massage Therapy?
Some people confuse reflexology with massage, but they are two different modalities-each with its own strengths. Both, like many other therapies, such as chiropractic, osteopathy, and other somatic practices, involve the use of the hands to apply their techniques. The aim with both reflexology and massage is to enhance the well being of the client.
