Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of therapeutic massage that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. These points, known as reflex points, correspond to different organs and systems in the body, and by applying pressure to these points, reflexology aims to promote overall wellness and balance in the body.

During a reflexology session, the massage therapist will use their fingers, thumbs, or specialized reflexology tools to apply pressure to the reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears. The pressure applied may be firm or gentle, depending on the individual's sensitivity and preference.

Reflexology is based on the principle that different areas of the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different parts of the body, such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. By stimulating these reflex points, reflexology aims to promote circulation, reduce stress, and promote relaxation throughout the body.

Reflexology can provide a range of benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving circulation, and promoting better sleep. It may also be helpful for individuals with conditions such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain.

Reflexology sessions can range from 30 to 60 minutes, and the number of sessions required will depend on the individual's needs and goals. It is important to communicate with the reflexologist about any medical conditions or concerns, as well as any areas of discomfort or sensitivity on the feet, hands, or ears.

Reflexology is generally considered safe for most individuals, but it is important to seek clearance from a healthcare provider before beginning any new massage or bodywork practice.
