Reflexology is a treatment based on the theory that our bodies, including organs, glands, and systems, have reflex points located on our feet. Using specific pressure on the feet, the reflexologist can release blockages around the corresponding body parts and bring balance and deep relaxation to the body.
Reflexology is both an art and a science. The science is reflected in studies that have proven that reflexology can be beneficial for people with hypertension, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, nausea, PMS, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and disc herniations. There are over 7,000 nerve endings in each foot. Be engaging with all 14,000 nerve endings the reflexologist can effect a wide variety of body elements.
The art of reflexology is reflected in the practice. Each practitioner varies in his or her technique, skill level and approach. Often essential oils are used during the session because the oils are easily absorbed through the feet. They can then travel through the body and affect every cell, within 20 minutes.
During the reflexology session you will be fully clothed, except for your feet, and reclined on a massage table or reflexology chair. Often, the feeling after a session is one of deep and profound relaxation.
