What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is known to be more than 4,000 years old. It is based on the
Chinese theory that energy travels through the body through meridians in the
body. The meridians bring energy to the major organs. When there is a blockage
in the meridian, energy becomes unbalanced and can result in blockages and
disease, both physical, emotional and mental.
Reflexology works to release energy blockages in the meridians thereby opening
a freeflow of balanced energy and releasing or preventing disease. A major
treatment for stress reduction, is also used for pain relief, muscle rela
ation, and increase in blood circulation.
It has a good track record in helping with back pain, tension headaches, stress
related illness and digestive problems. It brings on a general sense of well
being.
On your first visit, expect to spend time discussing your overall health,
medical history and lifestyle. Gentle pressure is applied to the feet.
Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet
and by working on these areas, the Reflexologist can release blockages and
restore the freeflow of energy to the whole body.
You may require six to eight treatments, depending on your body needs. For the
most part the sensation is pleasant and soothing. This gentle therapy
encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace.
