Reflexology
Reflexology can help eliminate the many causes and symptoms
of poor health.
- reduces pain / reduces stiffness
- promotes energy rebalancing
- provides relaxation of the muscles and reduces tension
- improves circulation and lymphatic drainage
- stimulates the immune system
- improves the body's innate ability to do its own natural
healing
The reflex points on the feet are energy junctions that relay
and reinforce energy along the meridian lines in the body,
passing energy toward the organs and the nervous system.
Reflexology can be combined with basic sound and colour therapy.
Learn as much self help at each session as you feel up to.
House calls can be arranged for an additional $20 fee
A few notes on Reflexology
In 1913 Dr. William Fitzgerald noted that pressure on specific
parts of the body could have an anaesthetizing effect on a
related area. Developing this theory, he divided the body
into ten equal and vertical zones, ending in the fingers and
toes. He concluded that pressure on one part of a zone could
affect everything else within that zone.
In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham, a therapist, further developed
and refined the zone therapy into what is now known as reflexology.
She observed that congestion or tension in any part of the
foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part
of the body. Thus, when you treat the big toes there is a
related effect in the head, and treating the whole foot can
have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body.
On your first visit the reflexologist should discuss your
health issues and concerns and take notes. He/she then begins
to work on your feet (or hands if necessary), with emphasis
on the problem areas. Normally, the sensation is pleasant,
relaxing and soothing. There may be the odd discomfort in
some places, but this is fleeting and acts as an indication
of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the
body.
Usually a treatment session lasts between 30 minutes to 1
hour. A course of treatment varies in length depending on
your body's needs. Your Reflexologist will discuss this with
you at the first session. After the first session or two your
body may respond in a very definite way. You may have a feeling
of well-being and relaxation; or you have a temporary feeling
of lethargic, nauseousness or tearfulness, as your body adjusts.
