Reflexology

Therapy
Reflexology
is a gentle form of therapeutic treatment applied to the feet
and sometimes to the hands. It evolved around 1913 from the
work of Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat
surgeon in the United States. Reflexology is considered to be
a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual
as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony
in body, mind and spirit.
Reflexology
is based on the belief that there are reflex areas on the feet
(and hands) corresponding to all the parts of the body
including major organs. It is believed that applying pressure
to specific areas on the feet, hands and ears can affect
internal organs and body systems, and therefore promote good
health.
The
therapist stimulates and works these organs and systems
through the reflexes areas on the hands and feet, applying
pressure to the feet with thumb and fingers. Pressure is
applied to clear out congestion and restore normal functioning
and health.

Benefits
of Reflexology?
Reflexology
has many benefits. It feels good. It is pleasant and soothing,
and it relaxes the body. Each person responds to a reflexology
in a unique way and on occasions may experience a variety of
short term reactions, for example, extreme relaxation,
tiredness, lethargy or tearfulness. Reflexology is not a
‘cure-all’. However, it does help relieve pain associated
with migraine, sinus problems, breathing disorders, digestive
problems, circulatory problems, back problems, tension and
stress.
