Reflexology

Reflexology is far more detailed and complex than a normal foot massage, and has benefits that have been recorded over the thousands of years that it has been practiced. Reflexology is a diverse practice that can provide relief to multiple parts of the body through manipulating certain pressure points on the feet, hands and ears. Our body is all connected, and the feet have proven to hold pressure points that can release tension and pain from other areas of the body. A reflexologist will study and understand these certain pressure points and use them to provide relief to their patient.

Reflexology can be beneficial in a variety of different areas. It is a treatment that can be used for a variety of conditions and has an ability to stimulate nerve function, induce deep relaxation, target and remove toxins, increase energy, boost circulation and stimulate the central nervous system. It has also been known to help relieve sleep disorders, depression and relieves pain. Patients who want to heal quickly after a surgery or injury can also benefit from reflexology. Furthermore, it can help ease the treatment of various cancers and even helps to soothe the pains of pregnancy, even those occurring after the baby is born.

The Benefits of Reflexology:

Nerve Function – one reflexology session has been linked to stimulating over 7000 different nerve endings. This is extremely beneficial when it comes to keeping your nerves active and reactive. As we get older, our nerve function begins to deteriorate. Giving your neural pathways a good dose of stimulation keeps them active and receptive.

Energy Levels – many people who feel lethargic or sluggish benefit from a session of reflexogy. The practice focuses on realigning the connections in your body, along with various muscle and organ systems. This realignment affects the body’s energy levels by boosting energy production and other energy centres such as your metabolism.

Circulation – Good Circulation plays a huge role in the way that our body functions. Good circulation means that blood and oxygen are flowing effectively through the body, meaning that they can access the vital organs of the body.

Removal of Toxins – Reflexology is often used to elimate harmful toxins from the body – toxins which we are bombarded with every day. Reflexology is known to provide relief from bladder infections and other urinary tract conditions. Removing the toxicity in your body is a good step towards preventing certain diseases and health complications.
