What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers to stimulate more that 7,200 nerve endings in each foot.  These nerve endings correspond to all parts of the body, including organs and glands. In some sessions the hands and ears are also worked on.

Stimulating the appropriate region is intended to eliminate energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease in the related areas.

Reflexology is used to prevent, rather than cure, and is used to relieve a wide variety of aliments.

Origins of Reflexology

Dr. William Fitzgerald, in his book Zone Therapy, states that "a form of treatment by means of pressure points was known in India and China 5000 years ago.  This knowledge, however, appears to be lost or forgotten.  Perhaps it was set aside in favor of acupuncture, which emerged as the stronger growth from the same root."  There also appears to be evidence of reflexology being used in Egyptian art around 2330 B.C.E.

What Does Reflexology Do?

Reflexology can relieve stress and tension within the body.  It improves circulation and lymphatic flow and works to unlock nerve impulse pathways.  The benefits all work toward helping the body to heal itself by restoring balance to the vital energies.

Who Can Benefit From Reflexology?

People of all ages can benefit from reflexology treatments.  We all suffer from stress at one time or another, and aches and pains are a part of daily life.  Reflexology has a long history of promoting relaxation and healing.

How Frequently Should I Have A Reflexology Treatment?

To begin with once a week is normal; an extreme case would be twice a week.  This is depending on the level of dis-ease in your body is in.   After your body becomes normalized,  monthly treatments are recommended.

Reflexology also works wonderfully in conjunction with other body therapies.
