Reflexology
by Elise Deschenes (Reflexologist & Esthetician)
Reflexology
Allow 60 minutes - $70
Reflexology, sometimes called reflex zone therapy, involves the massage of certain points on the feet and, less often, the hands. Reflexologists believe that these points correspond to zones in the body and that massaging these points can relieve stress and prevent or treat disease.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that aims to restore and maintain the body's natural balance and encourage healing.
Evidence shows that early African tribes, the American Indians, early Egyptians and the ancient Chinese knew all about the benefits of foot massage and reflexology.
Some reflexologists also believe that the health of a person can be assessed by feeling the points to detect imbalances or blockages in the flow of energy in the body. Reflexologists use their hands and particularly their thumbs to give the treatment. A therapeutic spa reflexology treatment will benefit the whole body.
What are the benefits of reflexology ?
In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.
Whether reflexology can benefit certain conditions and diseases in still under investigation. Further scientific study need to be done in order to come to some definite benefits of reflexology in regard to illness and disease.
Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as medical advice. It should not be a replacement to medical help. Please use it wisely. We care about your safety.
The benefits of reflexology include:
Relaxation
Pain reduction
Amelioration of symptoms for health concerns
Rejuvenation of tired feet
Improvement in blood flow
Impact on physiological measures (e. g. blood pressure and cholesterol; measurements by ECG, EEG, and fMRI)
Beneficial for post-operative recovery and pain reduction
Enhancement of medical care (e. g. cancer, phantom limb pain, and hemodialysis patients)
Adjunct to mental health care (e. g. depression, anxiety, Post traumatic stress disorder)
Complement to cancer care (pain, nausea, vomiting, anxiety)
Easier birthing / delivery / post-partum recovery
How do I get results with reflexology?
For best results techniques are applied consistently. We have been impressed with the results of reflexology work from China. Think of morning, noon and night application for a long term health concern.
Applying reflexology daily is suggested for best results. This requires self help and family help as well as the guidance of practitioners. The reflexologist can provide you with a relaxing experience and quality work as well as educate you in how to do it yourself. You and your family can provide the quantity of reflexology work to frequently break up the stress patterns in your feet and hands.
Build reflexology into your life. It is easy to do reflexology while doing other activities. Put a foot roller under your desk or work your hands while waiting for the kids at school. Be creative but be consistent. Five minutes a day is worth more than an hour once in awhile.
