What is Reflexology ? Reflexology is a healing art Reflexology is a therapeutic and natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to every part, gland, nerve, and organ of the body. Similar to acupuncture but utilizing different nerve pathways, the practitioner uses her hands to stimulate these reflex points. Reflexology is a safe technique for alleviating energy blockages in these pathways, that often result in disease. When used on specific reflex points, it also acts a a catalyst to stimulate and aid the body's own natural healing process For centuries in many diverse cultures, health practitioners have practiced reflexology. In North America reflexology has been practiced since before the 1900's. In European health clinics and spas reflexology forms an integral part of their health programs.
Reflexology Who is helped Reflexology treatments can benefit anyone who seeks better health and improved energy levels through natural means. It is a perfectly safe treatment for people of all ages as the treatment is always adjusted for the individual and their particular condition. Often used for relaxation and stress relief, it is also helpful for muscle weakness, neck and back pain, digestive and elimination disorders, heart and lung weakness, asthma, arthritis, nervous disorders, glandular imbalance, allergies, and many other conditions. A reflexologist does not diagnose nor does she treat any specific disease but rather treats the whole body of the client through the feet or hands. It is what is called a holistic approach. Often the presenting symptom lies in the most unlikely place. As with most of the alternative healing arts and sciences, reflexology works well together with other therapies-both medical and alternative, for preventative and curative care.
Reflexology What to expect Treatments usually last about an hour and are given in a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The treatment can be performed on your hands or your feet. Some symptoms can sometimes be relieved after only one or two sessions. for problems of a more serious nature, or chronic health condition, a series o f treatments is recommended. Even if there is no ailment, reflexology is relaxing and is a good way to relieve tension and "tune-up the body. Reflexology can achieve some remarkable effects. The treatment and the response of each individual are unique to their particular condition. There are advantages for everyone and the experience of even just one session will confirm it's value. If a treatment succeeds in reducing stress and restoring balance it has served a valuable purpose. Stress is the biggest single threat to equilibrium and health and without relaxation, no healing takes place.
