Feet Reflexology by Ginny
Reflexology is both an art and a science performed primarily
on the feet and hands using a finger and thumb technique on
the zones and reflex areas that correspond to all parts of the
body. Through applied pressure, energy blocks can be released
in corresponding zones to rebalance the entire body.

Benefits of reflexology
treatments include
We have over 7,000
nerves in our feet that make that connection to all parts of
the body. Reflexology therapy is a very
soothing therapeutic modality in which the body, mind and
spirit are nurtured towards cleansing and healing.
True reflexology is not a foot massage at all. But like
massage it is very relaxing and it elicits an autonomic
nervous system response which plays a key role in the body's
response to stress. Stress and the body's inability to relax
are contributing factors to many diseases making reflexology
more of a necessity than a luxury.
Most everyone can use
the stress-relieving results of reflexology therapy - even those who
aren't able to have conventional massage therapy due to
physical limitations or who may be uncomfortable about
removing all of their clothes. With reflexology, you only need
to remove your shoes and socks. The pressure used in
Reflexology is firm and consistent, and ticklish clients have
found it to be very soothing.

"Reflexology is as old as
acupuncture and ancient texts indicate
that different cultures had their own variations of this art." |

The feet serve as
a sensory organ for the body, continuously interpreting and
responding to both internal and external stimuli. The body’s
internal stress level is always reflected in the feet. At the
same time, the feet are constantly adapting to the demands of
the outside world.
Internally, stress distorts the ongoing messages that the
brain sends to the nervous system and internal organs.
Reflexology interrupts these distorted messages and ‘resets’
the communication from the brain, reducing stress and
normalizing the body’s internal functions.
The effect of reflexology pressure is to release restricted
energy flow, improve blood supply and promote neurological
stimulation of the affected area. The goal of reflexology work
is to break down uric acid crystal deposits in the body, or
electrical part of the nervous system to help restore internal
balance.
Doctor William
Fitzgerald developed reflexology as we know it today in 1913
and further research was done by Eunice Ingham. She developed
the "map" of the body pertaining to reflexology. This natural therapy has
demonstrated a profound ability to stimulate a powerful
healing potential throughout the body. Because of the
physiology of circulation in the lower extremities of the
body, and the uniquely sensitive and responsive nature of
nerve endings in the feet, reflexology to the feet, hands, or
ears can stimulate a powerful healing effect throughout the
body.
If you have any of the following conditions,
you should speak to your medical doctor before booking an

pitted edema, broken bones of the foot or ankle, infections,
painful ingrown toenails or corns, gout, warts, recent
surgery, or are in the 1st trimester of pregnancy.
Sessions generally last 30 to 60 minutes. Ask about multiple
reflexology session discounts. Reflexology makes a great gift
and gift certificates are available! |
