Reflexology
Every part of the body has a reflex point, or area on the feet. These points are linked through neural pathways. A reflexology treatment promotes heath and induces relaxation through the application of pressure to the corresponding reflexes on the feet.
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, usually directed at the feet. It is based on the premise that there are zones and reflexes that correspond to and relative to all parts of the entire body.
Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, activating a parasympathetic responce in the body to enable the disharmonies to be released by a physiological change in the body. With stress removed and circulation improved, the body can return to a state of homeostasis.
A firm pressure is used when working the feet within the pain threshold of the clients and if at any time you experience discomfort the therapist will adjust the pressure.
