A concentrated massage working on nerve endings and muscular stress, foot reflexology focuses on the nerve endings to help circulation and stabilize the organ functions through pressure applied to reflex points on the feet which correspond to vital organs and glands in the body. Reflexology combines the body’s own energy and the healing effects of touch therapy to promote a healing response. This healing occurs when the body is in a deep state of relaxation, and the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged. This system is sometimes called “rest and digest”, or “rest and heal”.
Stress is believed to be responsible for the majority of illnesses. We spend a lot of our time in the “fight or flight” response of our nervous system, known as the sympathetic nervous system. By engaging the “rest and heal” response, the stress response is interrupted, and health is promoted instead of disease.
During a reflexology session, your body’s metabolism normalizes, circulation improves, lymph is moved, and the deep state of relaxation allows your body to heal whatever needs healing. You may find that you sleep better after a reflexology session.
The beneficial effects of the physiological changes induced by the session are most noticeable within the first 24 hours, and they can continue to have an effect for five days!
Our therapist will provide you with a soothing, gentle hand reflexology, leg massage, and foot reflexology to reduce body tension, increase
blood circulation, restore nerve function, and establish balance within the body.
