Facts Answers and Questions about Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a  natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. 

What are the Benefits of Reflexology?

The benefits of reflexology are: relaxation, release of tension, improved circulation, and promotion of the body’s self-normalization process.

Release of Tension

Stress can’t be avoided.  We live with stress every day, in our work, family life and day to day activities.  Stress becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well.  When this happens, the body’s defenses breakdown and you become more susceptible to illness.  Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation.

Improves Circulation

We all know how important it is for blood to flow freely through the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body and removing waste products and toxins.  Stress and tension tighten up the cardiovascular system and restrict blood flow.  Circulation becomes sluggish.  By reducing stress and tension, Reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.

What is a Treatment Like?

As you recline, remaining fully clothed except for your feet, your feet are wrapped in warm towels to sooth and soften them.  Each reflex point on both feet are stimulated as the body is considered to be a whole unit.  The pressure applied varies with each person.
