Foot Reflexology Your feet are made up of 26 bones, 11 muscles and over 7, nerve endings. During your session, reflex points of the feet are stimulated to provide benefits to all systems of the body. Results include improved blood supply, increased vitality, and deep relaxation.
Warm herbal compresses are used to soothe the feet and assist in the release of toxins. Reflexology uses ancient techniques and diagrams from traditional Chinese medicine based on the principles that there are reflexes in the feet that relate to every organ, gland, or part of the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology is an effective tool to promote wellness and has proven to increase circulation.
This therapeutic method of foot massage is an effective tool in promoting wellness, relieving stress, and enhancing your overall mood. Research has also shown that reflexology improves circulation, increasing the oxygen and nutrients delivered to your tissues and lymph system and helping to carry the cellular waste away.
This improved circulation may reduce muscle tension and pain as well as swelling from injuries, surgeries, or illness. And your immune function, mental well-being, and general health all are improved. Reflexology has been associated with stimulating more than 7, different nerve endings in a single 1-hour session, thereby increasing nerve functions and reactivity. Opening and cleaning out neural pathways helps to improve functionality and improves toxicity levels within the body.
Like muscles, neural pathways need to be worked occasionally to maintain efficiency! If you need a boost in energy or are always feeling sluggish, a reflexology session can help to re-energize your body and mind.
