What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet to promote relaxation and healing throughout the body.
The practice is based on the belief that these reflex points correspond to different organs and systems within the body, helping to restore balance and encourage wellness.
Reflexology provides:
-
Deep relaxation by targeting pressure points in the feet.
-
Relief from physical tension, stress, and fatigue.
-
Support in improving circulation and boosting the immune system.
-
A holistic approach to enhancing emotional and mental well-being.
REFLEXOLOGY
How does Reflexology work?
Imagine your body as a detailed map, with each organ and system connected to specific points on your feet.
Your feet act as a GPS signal for this map, with each reflex area corresponding to a particular part of your body.
When something is out of balance in an organ, the corresponding point on your foot might feel tender, as if the GPS is sending an alert.
Applying pressure to these points is like activating the signal, sending a message to the associated part of your body to promote balance and well-being.
By stimulating these points, Reflexology helps to reestablish balance, reduce tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
This gentle stimulation encourages the body’s energy to flow more smoothly, promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and boosting overall health and well-being.
Why is Reflexology Called Zone Therapy?
Reflexology operates on the principle that the body can be divided into zones, each corresponding to specific reflex points on the feet.
These zones represent the body's organs and systems, creating an energetic map of the body’s internal structure.
Each zone on the feet (and other reflex points) is connected to different parts of the body through energetic pathways.
By applying pressure to specific reflex areas, a reflexologist can stimulate these energy channels, helping to unblock any congestion and restore balance within the body.
This process works by supporting the natural communication between the body’s systems, allowing them to function more harmoniously.
Using Reflexology maps, which depict the relationship between reflex points and corresponding body parts, reflexologists are able to target specific areas to promote health, relieve tension, and encourage the body's healing abilities.
This targeted approach helps clear any energy blockages, allowing the body to return to a state of balance, relaxation, and optimal health.
