Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is the study of reflexes. It is a natural therapy derived from the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body. Therapeutic effect occurs through the application of pressure on these reflexes.

What are the benefits of this type of therapy?       

Reflexology treatments can:

Increase circulation

Encourage tension relief

Aid in homeostasis (a beneficial state in which the body naturally rests and repairs)

Support the body’s efforts to function optimally

Decrease pain and increase mobility

Be a positive addition to your health and wellness strategy

What can I expect during my Reflexology session?

Foot reflexology is a non-intrusive treatment, performed with the client fully clothed (feet exposed) and seated in a portable zero gravity chair. Treatments involve site specific application of hand pressure to the feet. The feet are gently prepared using witch hazel or an epsom salt foot soak. Each foot will then be massaged using a specific hand pressure technique. Oil or cream is applied at end of treatment. Expect to settle in and enjoy a supportive, relaxing experience.

Who shouldn't receive Reflexology treatments?

     Foot Reflexology should not be performed in the following situations:

Deep Vein Thrombosis (blood clots)

Infections of the foot or contagious illness

Severe edema (swelling) or vascular disease

Prental patients in the first trimester, with a high-risk pregnancy or history of miscarriage

Foot trauma (injury, wound, infection, broken bones) where pressure could potentially do further harm

Consult your physician if you currently have or recently had any serious health issues. It is advised that people with diabetes check their sugar levels before and after reflexology.
