Reflexology:
An Ancient Healing Art for Today's Stresses
Our bodies are amazingly resilient, continuously adapting to life's physical and emotional challenges. Through every minutes of every day the different systems of the body communicate and work together to create the subtle adjustments that result in a healthy condition.
Through the skillful application of pressure to specific points in the feet, a reflexologist joins in the silent dialogue within your body. Practiced in diverse cultures for centures, reflexology is much more than a good foot massage.
Promoting your good health
Reflexology promotes the body's marvelous ability to adjust and balance during times of stress. Simply taking time out to relax can help you let go of tension and enjoy a feeling of restored balance in your mind and body.
Beyond relaxation, reflexology has been shown to improve circulation. Increasing circulation boosts the supply oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and other tissues and speeds the elimination of waste products such as lactic acid and stress hormones. This, in turn, reduces muscle tension and soreness, decreases healing time for injuries, and reduces swelling from injuries or illness. Immune function, skin tone, and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
