Foot massage is one of the most unbelievably relaxing treats that you can give yourself.
It is now estimated that 75% of ailments, injuries, aches and pains are present due to stress, and Reflexology allows the body to release that stress, which contributes to repair, relief and healing. Reflexology is believed to be effective, in part, because the skin on the feet and hands are incredibly thing and therefore, a person has more access to the numerous nerve endings located within those appendages. The nerves act as a mirror of sorts for one another, seemingly desperate parts of the body.
A certified therapist who is highly trained in the healing art of Reflexology will have many questions for our guest. During the Initial Consultation, the therapist will ask very specific questions about problem areas and then correlate those problem areas to one or more of the noted zones of the body. The trained reflexologist is able to directly correlate and isolate the area where it is located on the hands or feet and target the reflex points. It is widely accepted in the world of Reflexology that this practice is effective because the pressure applied to the nerve sends a signal to the brain, which in turn, sends the message of relaxation and/or decrease of pain to the body part. It is also widely accepted that these 10 zones work together to provide a natural energy throughout the entire body. The therapist is able to relax and aid the guest with a variety of conditions such as anxiety, asthma, cardiovascular issues, headaches, and even sinusitis. When pressure is placed on these key areas of the hands and feet, blockages causing these problems are broken down and removed from the body - the result is that the guest feels relief.
