Reflexology restores & maintains the body's natural balance & encourages healing

Did you know each foot is made up of:

 

28 bones , 19 muscles, 107 ligaments, 31 tendons,30 joints

12,000 sweat glands,  3 arches, yards and yards of blood vessels

and approximately 7,200 nerve reflexes?

 

While the feet are the largest mass of energy in the whole body, they are also farthest away from the heart.  When circulation stagnates, toxins such as uric acid become trapped and calcium crystals form.  Reflexology easily detects these very sensitive areas in the feet and works to break up this "congestion" so circulation is improved and can help the body begin to normalize itself.

 

Reflexology should not be confused with massage. While they each have their own strength, they are two different modalities. Both involve the use of the hands to apply their techniques...the goal with both modalities is to enhance the well being of the client...but Reflexology is more than a foot massage and is often recommended by medical doctors,osteopathic physicans, podiatrists, and chiropractors. 

Similar maps of reflexes are found on the ears or the hands as well.  Through application of pressure on these reflexes - with hands only-Reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation, opens the flow in blocked nerves and helps promote the natural functioning and healing of the body.  Reflexology does not diagnose or prescribe.  The whole body is treated rather than a specific condition.

Essentially, Reflexology helps to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your whole body. If an organ or gland is underactive or overactive, Reflexology can help return it to a normal level.

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art that is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every part of the body.  The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of "imbalance" and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively.  When one part of the body is not functioning well, the effect is felt throughout the entire system.  Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural balance and encourage healing.
