Reflexology is the study of reflexes.
Reflexology therapies are natural therapeutic methods derived from the study based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body.
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands).
Reflexology is relaxing and may help alleviate stress.
The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.
In reflexology theory, every organ, valve, muscle, etc. that lies within a zone can be accessed via a point or area on the feet or hands. For example, working between toes 2 and 3, or fingers 2 and 3, the eye point is found. These pathways between pressure points and other parts of the body are thought to be connected via the nervous system, as described above.
Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Given that reflexology is also low risk, it can be a reasonable option if you’re seeking relaxation and stress relief.
The treatment can help manage many common concerns including musculoskeletal pain, reproductive issues, stress, insomnia, fibromyalgia, chemo nausea, post op pain and hormonal and digestive issues. Plus, unlike other therapies which target the area of concern causing additional pain or discomfort, reflexology offers relief by working another part of the body.
How often should I get reflexology?
That’s partly a matter of personal preference. Many people start out with weekly sessions for a month or two. Then, they either stop having reflexology or transition to monthly “maintenance sessions” once they’ve already seen positive results. We can discuss what is best for you!
