Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, face or ears. These points, known as reflex points, are believed to correspond to different organs, systems, and parts of the body. Reflexology aims to promote relaxation, alleviate stress, and improve overall health by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
How Reflexology Works
Reflexologists use their hands, fingers, or tools to apply pressure in a systematic way. The idea is that by manipulating these reflex points, they can influence the corresponding body part or system.
Potential Benefits
• Relaxation and Stress Relief: Reflexology is known for its calming effects.
• Improved Circulation: It may help enhance blood flow.
• Pain Management: It can alleviate pain associated with headaches, arthritis, and other conditions.
• Enhanced Mood and Sleep: Reflexology may promote better emotional balance and sleep quality.
• Support for Specific Conditions: Some people find relief from symptoms of PMS, sinus issues, or digestive discomfort.
What to Expect During a Treatment
1. Consultation: The Reflexologist will ask about your health history and specific concerns.
2. Session: You’ll typically sit in a reclining chair or lie on a massage table. The practitioner will use their hands or tools to press and massage reflex points, often focusing on the feet.
3. Duration: Sessions usually last 60 minutes.
Safety and Considerations
Reflexology is generally safe for most people. However, it’s essential to inform your practitioner if you:
• Are pregnant.
• Have circulatory issues (e.g., blood clots).
• Have any open wounds or infections on your feet or hands.
• Have chronic health conditions requiring medical supervision.
Reflexology is considered a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment. If you’re interested please get in touch for more information.
