What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is more than just a foot rub. It’s a targeted therapy based on the principle that specific points on your feet correspond to organs and systems in your body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexologists stimulate energy pathways and help your body heal naturally.
This technique has roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Egyptian history, and it's still widely used today for promoting holistic wellness.
Your feet are like mirrors of your body. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Toes = Head and neck
- Ball of foot = Chest and heart
- Arch = Liver, stomach, pancreas, kidneys
- Heel = Lower back, intestines, sciatic nerve
- Release tension
- Improve circulation
- Promote lymphatic drainage
- Encourage the body to return to its natural balance
Many people are surprised at how much better they feel after just one session. Here are some common benefits:
1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety
By calming the nervous system, reflexology can leave you feeling deeply relaxed and clear-headed.
2. Improves Sleep
Regular sessions may help regulate sleep cycles and reduce insomnia.
3. Eases Digestive Problems
Stimulating certain foot zones can support the digestive tract and reduce bloating or constipation.
4. Boosts Circulation
Enhanced blood flow supports overall health and recovery, especially for people with diabetes or cold extremities.
5. Alleviates Pain
Some clients report relief from migraines, neck stiffness, back pain, and even menstrual discomfort.
