The ancient healing art of Reflexology has been known to man for many thousands of years. It was first practised by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptians. It has its basis in the belief that along with nerve endings, there are energy meridians that run through the human body. There are five on the left side of the body, five on the right side of the body, and three that run across the body transversely. Every organ and system in the body has a spot on the hand, foot, or ear that can trigger activity.

When the flow of energy throughout the body becomes blocked, any organ along the blockage ceases to function properly. A blockage also can cause overall stress to the body; by manipulating the corresponding zone on the foot, hand, or ear, Reflexology can release the blockage. This will not only help the affected organs to work again, but will allow the whole body to perform in harmony, resetting homeostasis.

Reflexology can be used to relieve stress and reduce pain. It is can also be an aid to weight loss. It has been used for headaches and digestive issues. Almost any type of ailment can receive some benefit from it. Often, just putting the patient in a more relaxed state helps them to heal better.

This is a great alternative to anyone who is not yet ready to try acupuncture. You will sit in a reclining chair, or perhaps lay on a table. You do not need to undress. The reflexologist will massage, knead, and stretch each foot slowly and methodically. There will be pressure involved, but it will not be painful.

We will note any tender areas; and may spend extra time on them, gently coaxing the blockage away and the energy to flow freely once again. After working on your feet we will move to your hands, again carefully working the entire hand. Your job will be to relax.

After you have been worked on, you will feel a deep sense of relaxation. Some people become overly emotional, having all the stress and tension relieved from their bodies. Do not be surprised if you are tired after a Reflexogy session. While there should be improvement with each visit, and some things, like headaches or pain, might be gone with each session.
