Reflexology
What is Reflexology Massage?
Reflexology is a gentle
form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet and sometimes to the
hands. After being brought to America in the early 1900's by Chinese
immigrants, it evolved around 1913 from the work of Dr. William H.
Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat
Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet (and hands) corresponding to all the parts of the body including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect internal organs and body systems, relieving areas of congestion, and therefore promote good health. Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body’s energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. The therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems through the reflexes areas on the hands and feet, applying pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. Pressure is applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning and health. Benefits of Reflexology? Reflexology has many benefits. It feels good. It is pleasant and soothing, and it relaxes the body. Each person responds to a reflexology in a unique way and on occasions may experience a variety of short term reactions, for example, extreme relaxation, tiredness, lethargy or tearfulness. Reflexology is not a ‘cure-all’. However, it does help releive pain associated with migraine, sinus problems, breathing disorders, digestive problems, circulatory problems, back problems, tension and stress. -adapted from http://www.mamashealth.com/massage/reflex.asp How do I make an appointment?
