Reflexology
a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to every part, gland and organ, of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflex points, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.
What are the benefits?
- Relaxation
- Pain Reduction
- rejuvenantion of tired feet
- Improvement of blood flow
- Impact on physiological measures ( ie. blood pressure & cholesterol)
- Beneficial for post-operative recovery and pain reduction
- Adjunct to mental health care ( ei. depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder)
- Complement to cancer care (pain, nausea, vomitting, anxiety)
- Easier birthing/delivery/post-partum recovery
How Does It Work?
Pressure sensors in the feet and hands are part of the body's reflexive response that makes possible the" fight or flight" reaction to danger. The sudden adrenal surge that enables a person to lift a car is an example of this reaction. Reflexology taps into this reflex network providing pressure to these sensors and affecting the internal organs to which the reflexes are inextricable tied to. |
