Reflexology
Based on an ancient Chinese therapy, reflexology involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to other parts of the body. This modality involves application of pressure to these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion.
This technique is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation and stimulate circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. This technique is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is traumatized to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate.
Benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology massage is used to reduce effects of stress upon your body by relaxing you. It is also used to improve circulation and to promote proper digestion and elimination of waste. Some forms of reflexology will trigger the release of toxins and will aid your body in releasing impurities. When certain points are massaged, it will trigger the body’s ability to heal and restore corresponding parts of the body to full health. It is used as both a preventative form of medicine and as a supplementary form of healthcare for those suffering with chronic pain, illness, cancer and other serious ailments.
