What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a science based on the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands that correspond to all organs, glands and parts of the body. Reflexology is a non-invasive technique using the thumb and fingers to work the reflex areas.
Reflexology is a unique and holistic way to support your good health and help you feel better. By nourishing your mental and physical vitality, reflexology can help you let go of tension and maintain your balance in meeting the demands and stresses of your daily life.

History of Reflexology
By walking barefoot, early man was inadvertently enjoying the benefits from reflexology. Both ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures praised the healing effects of foot reflexology on the body.
The ancient healing art originated in China around 3000 B.C. In 1917, Dr. William Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat physician, conducted studies with zone therapy running the entire length of the body with every part of the body being in at least one zone. Modern day reflexology is based on the Eunice Ingham method. With this method, pressure is applied by thumb walking while maintaining a constant pressure across the area of the foot being worked.

What to Expect?
|
Your reflexology session will begin with you lying on a table, or sitting in a reclining reflexology chair. The reflexologist will apply thumb or finger pressure to each hand and foot. Certain areas may feel more sensitive than others. It is important to stimulate all the points. Tender areas will not be avoided, but worked within your comfort level. The tenderness often decreases as the reflexologist works your hands and feet and you begin to relax.
