Reflexology
Reflexology
Reflexology is a method of activating the healing powers of the body
Balances energy
The long established principle is that there are energy zones running throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts. When this energy flow is impeded the body does not function efficiently because it is out of balance. It is believed that reflexology helps to unblock the congestion in the energy pathways, returning the body to a balanced state improving the physical and emotional well being
Aids relaxation
Stress cannot be avoided; we live with it every day. It only becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well and the body's defence's break down and we become more susceptible to illness and disease.
Reflexology reduces stress by liberating a deep tranquil relaxation. This relaxed state allows the energy to flow more easily thereby revitalising the body.
Detoxifies the body
Reflexology is believed to improve the function of the lymphatic system, detoxifying and cleansing internally and stimulating the excretory systems to rid the body of waste. It also helps the skin to function more efficiently, removing toxins and the build up of waste.
Prevents problems occurring
We are constantly bombarded with stressors from pollution, food contaminated with chemicals, hectic lifestyle, poor diet to name but a few. These factors help to contribute to poor health and encourage disease. Regular treatments of reflexology together with the necessary life style changes can help to prevent problems occurring by alleviating stress and preventing an imbalance in the body systems. It will also help to boost the immune systems, making it more effective, enabling it to fight of infection.
Provides pain relief
Reflexology is known to stimulate the body to produce endorphins, the body's own natural pain killer. When the therapist stimulates the pituitary gland reflex during treatment it may increase the amount of endorphins released into the body to suppress pain. The relaxing effect of treatment can also help to reduce the amount of pain, as it relieves tension in the muscles.
Increases circulation
Tension in the body restricts blood flow and as reflexology relaxes the body this allows the blood supply to flow more easily.
Stimulates the nervous system
Nerves convey message from the central nervous system to all parts of the body and through reflexology the nerve endings are stimulated. This encourages the opening of neural pathways allowing messages to travel unimpeded so that all the organs and systems of the body may be able to work together effectively.
It is a preventative healthcare
Reflexology is not a foot massage or a medical treatment.
It is not practiced to treat a specific disease, even though extra time would be spent working on the specific reflex area.
Reflexology works with subtle energy flows, revitalising the body so the natural healing mechanisms of the body can do its own work.
