Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, and sometimes the hands. It’s based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems, applying pressure to these parts offers a range of health benefits.

It has a great deal of its origins based in traditional Chinese medicine. It rests on the ancient Chinese belief in qi or “vital energy.” According to this belief, qi flows through each person. When a person feels stressed, their body blocks qi. This can cause an imbalance in the body that leads to illness. Reflexology aims to keep qi flowing through the body, keeping it balanced and disease free.

In the 1890s, British scientists found that nerves connect the skin and internal organs. They also found that the body’s entire nervous system tends to adjust to outside factors, including touch. As a reflexologist I believe that touch may help to calm the central nervous system, promoting relaxation and other benefits just like any form of massage. I have found in highly beneficial in reducing pain and improving mood and stress levels.
