REFLEXOLOGY

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the pressure points in the feet, hands and ears. Reflexology is a complementary and holistic healing technique that has its origins in the ancient cultures of Egypt, China, and India and even in Native American communities.

There are believed to be over 7,200 nerve endings in your hands and feet that correspond to various areas and organs in your body.  In other words the electrical wiring of your body ends and begin in your hands and feet. This “electrical system” sends nerve impulses back and forth along neural pathways that can be accessed on your soles of your feet and palms of your hands.

Applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet can help to bring about relaxation and balance to the entire body and hormonal system. When the body is relaxed and balanced its own natural healing can take place on various levels including emotional, mental and physical. Reflexology is not meant to take the place of traditional allopathic medicine but may be used as a supplement to your current regimen.  If you are ill please first consult your physician.
