What is Reflexology? is the study of reflexes.
Are natural therapeutic methods derived from this study base on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body.
Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology therapy can:
. relieve tension;
. improve circulation and;
. support the body’s efforts to function optimally.
How does it work?
Reflexology is very effective in reducing stress by putting the client into a state known as the “ parasympathetic” mode of the nervous system.
The feet are under constant physical pressure. Tension and stress through friction and repeated trauma seem to cause blockages that impinge on muscles and nerves. A reflexology session seems to break up deposits of toxic by-products. Also releases endorphins which are chemical messengers similar to morphine.
