Foot and Hand reflexology
Reflexology is safe non-invasive natural therapy that dates as far back as China, India and Egypt. A hieroglyph shown on the physician's tomb in Saqqara Egypt depicts a hand and foot Reflexology treatment.
Reflexology is the study of the reflexes. Reflexology therapies are natural therapeutic methods derived from this study based on the principle that there are zones and reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, organs and systems of the body. Reflexology stimulates the complex neural pathways. For example, in foot Reflexology there are over 7,200 nerve endings in the bottom of each foot. The reflex points are stimulated with specific hand and finger pressure techniques. Reflexology creates a relaxation response, relieves tension, and improves the nerve and blood supply in the corresponding parts of the body helping to promote their natural functions. Reflexology facilitates the body's own healing intelligence to adjust, balance and heal.
Foot Reflexology along with it's many benefits feels wonderful for tired, aching feet.
Hand Reflexology is just as safe and effective as foot Reflexology. It is an alternative if the feet are not able to be treated. Some people prefer to have hand Reflexology on its own or both the hands and feet treated in a session.
How many sessions needed depends on the age of the recipient, how long the condition has been there and their overall state of health at the time of the session. Although a person usually feels better after the first session it generally takes 8-12 sessions for a significant improvement in a long standing condition. A session lasts for 45-60 minutes.
