Reflexology 

Massage Your Way to Balance and Well-Being

Reflexology, a powerful holistic energy modality for the proliferation of health and well-being is based upon the idea that there is a direct connection between the many reflex points in your feet, hands, and ears and your internal organs. Direct pressure is applied to specific reflex points with the intention of evoking a response in a related internal organ or gland. The feet, hands, and ears represent a microcosm of the body, in that the reflex points for all of the organs, glands, and other body parts are laid out in a similar arrangement within them. Pressure or palpation on a reflex point can therefore effect the corresponding organ, gland, or structure. The basic explanation of how reflexology works follows that applied stimulation acts to clear nervous system and tissue congestion thus removing accumulated toxins out of the body encouraging the initiation of the body’s own inherent healing ability. 

Administering a reflexology treatment is incredibly simple. Below you will find diagrams of the reflex points for your feet, hands, and ears. You can approach your treatment as a comprehensive tune up massaging and palpating the entire area of the target site you choose or you can look for specific points to bring energy and relief to the organ, gland, or body part that you feel needs extra attention. Either way you approach your reflexology treatment you will bring more positive, healing energy into your body. This information is not being provided as medical advice so if you really have a serious medical condition you should definitely speak with your physician. However, reflexology is gentle enough that you should be able to add it to any other medically prescribed treatment regimen without the risk of incurring negative side effects. Always use your best judgement when approaching your health. Also remember that consistency and multiple treatment sessions may be best to achieve high level results with reflexology.

Hand Reflexology

Hand reflexology is just as effective as foot reflexology and is widely used for acupressure and shiatsu treatments. Some practitioners add a short hand treatment to the end of a foot reflexology session to enhance the overall benefits and provide a more comprehensive procedure. Investigating specific reflex points on the hands can also validate findings that have been uncovered from a foot exam. Hand reflexology provides easy access for mini-demonstrations, self treatment and first aid if necessary.
