Reflexology

Today’s topic is Foot Reflexology which is defined as: ‘Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular malady or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness. Reflexologists work from maps of predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.’ Medical -dictionary the free dictionary.com/Reflexology A real plus for some folks is that this foot treatment takes place fully clothed sans shoes and socks. The client lays down on a Massage table with a bolster(pillow) under their knees,there is an option to have a table warmer on if you tend run cold. Many people report that they feel an overall sense of wellbeing following a session. It is an hour long treatment of just feet time how awesome is that? Our feet hold us up day after day they could use some serious pampering. To warm the muscles tendons etc. we use a blend of oil and lotion made by Epicuren it is a great product available in a variety of luxuriant aromas.
