WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a natural healing therapy originating in Egypt and China around 2300 BC. It is a science that maps out the reflexes on the feet and hands to all the organs and the rest of the body. By stimulating and applying pressure to the feet or hands, you are increasing circulation and promoting specific bodily and muscular functions.
Reflexology is a ‘holistic' therapy. It treats the whole person via the feet, bringing all the body systems and energy flow into balance and correcting the negative factors involved in the disease process such as; congestion, inflammation and tension. Reflexology encourages the healing process to begin. The healing power of a hands-on trea
tment creates an environment through which self-healing can occur.

Preparing for a Treatment Takes place in an environment with soothing music. It is recommended that the client wear loose, comfortable clothing with easy open access from the knees to the feet and the elbows to the fingers. The therapist evaluates the clients hands and feet and begins to massage and apply pressure to specific points. During or after the treatment, the client may feel relaxed, lethargic, tearful or have a sense of well-being. These variable responses indicate how your body is responding to treatment. |
