Reflexology may be described as a specialized form of massage performed on the feet and hands. It is believed that the entire body is reflected in the feet and hands. Specific areas on the foot or hand are known reflex zones for other body parts. It is the intent of Reflexology to massage these specific areas so that the designated reflex zone will receive the benefit without having to massage the actual body part. This is particularly helpful when the targeted body part is difficult to contact, such as the lungs or colon.
The patient is comfortably seated or lying down while the healer works on manipulating the reflex zones. Patients experience a variety of sensations as different areas are treated. Any feelings of discomfort or sensitivity when a "congested" area is being treated are usually brief and subside quickly. A feeling of release and relief soon follows. Most people enjoy a feeling of lightness and relaxation, leaving with a sense of renewed energy.
Reflexology is useful in treating conditions like aches and pains, congestion, digestive problems, asthma tightness, chronic conditions, fatigue and stress. Reflexology enhances all circulation, assisting the body to normalize and balance natural metabolism of all organs and systems.
Reflexology is a double pleasure as you experience a sensational foot and body massage while at the same time receiving treatment to targeted organs and system.
