Reflexology
An Ancient Healing Art for Today’s Stresses
Promoting your good health
Reflexology promotes the body’s marvelous ability to adjust and balance during times of stress. Simply taking time out to relax can help you let go of tension and enjoy a feeling of restored balance in your mind and body.
Beyond relaxation, reflexology has been shown to improve circulation. Increasing circulation boosts the supply of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and other tissues and speeds the elimination of waste products such as lactic acid and stress hormones. This, in turn, reduces muscle tension and soreness, decreases healing time for injuries, and reduces swelling for injuries or illness. Immune function, skin tone, and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
Why work the feet?
- We have over 7000 nerve ending on the soles of our feet making them quite sensitive – and responsive to the sensory input of reflexology.
- Reflexology can help alleviate headaches, reduce arthritic and back pain, decrease the symptoms of addiction withdrawal, ease the swings of premenstrual syndrome, and reduce the symptoms of diabetes.
