Service Description

Reflexology is a treatment that involves applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, hands, or ears known as reflex points. It is based on the principle that these reflex points correspond to different organs, glands, and systems in the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology aims to promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being. Here's an overview of how reflexology is typically performed: Reflexology Points: specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears correspond to specific parts of the body. For example, the tips of the toes are associated with the head, and the center of the foot is connected to the organs in the torso. Reflexologists map out these reflex points and use them as a guide during the session. Client Preparation: The client usually sits or lies down in a comfortable position, with their feet, hands, or ears accessible to the reflexologist. They may remove shoes and socks or expose their hands and ears to facilitate the session. Relaxation Techniques: Before starting the reflexology treatment, the reflexologist may use relaxation techniques such as massage, stretching, or warming the feet, hands, or ears to help the client relax and prepare for the treatment. Pressure Application: The reflexologist applies pressure to the reflex points using their hands, fingers, and thumbs. They may use a variety of techniques, including thumb-walking (using the thumb to apply firm pressure and walk across the reflex areas), finger pressure, or rotating motions. The pressure is usually firm but not painful, and the reflexologist adjusts it based on the client's comfort level. Whole Body Approach: During a reflexology session, the reflexologist works on the reflex points of both feet, hands, or ears. The entire session is dedicated to stimulating and massaging these reflex points, rather than focusing on other areas of the body. Sensations and Reactions: The pressure applied to the reflex points may elicit various sensations, such as tingling, warmth, or mild discomfort. These sensations can vary depending on the individual and the specific reflex points being stimulated. It is believed that these reactions indicate areas of imbalance or tension within the corresponding organs or systems. Benefits: Reflexology aims to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and restore the body's natural balance. It is believed to have various potential benefits, including stress reduction, pain relief, & enhanced well-being.
