| What is Reflexology? |
Reflexology has been around for thousands of years and it is as powerful today as then. Most people don't know what Reflexology is or what it does. Very simply, Reflexology is the scientific art of using specific touch techniques on the hands, feet, and ears. In everyday language, a Reflexologist massages your feet, hands, or ears to relax the body. Unlike traditional massage, Reflexology only works on the feet, hands, or ears, no other part of the body.
How does this work? How can the body relax all over by only touching the feet, hands, or ears? We don't know for sure but the most popular theory is as follows:
There are nerve endings in the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs in the body. When there is congestion in one or several of the organs in the body, it settles at the end of the nerve ending in the feet or hands.
How does one tell if there is congestion in the feet or hands? When a trained Reflexologist touches the feet or hands of the client with a specific touch he or she can tell whether there is congestion by the feel of the skin. It may feel gritty, or puffy or tender. When a full reflexology session is done on a client the intention is to relax the body by breaking up the congestion at the nerve ending thereby permitting the oxygen to flow freely through the body. When the body receives more oxygen the body relaxes, when the body relaxes the body is able to self heal.
That's it! Simple really, yet profound. In today's world there is much more stress than our ancestors had. Where there is stress the body will react to the stress. The goal of Reflexologists is to help relieve the stress of the client as well as relaxing the body. Those of you who hesitate to have a full body massage for whatever reason, Reflexology is for you. Treat your feet to relaxing massage and let yourself just kick back and enjoy.
Who is Reflexology for? Everyone, mom's, executives, children, in other words for anyone has stress in their life and would like to relax.
