Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology (also referred to as Zone Therapy) is based on an ancient Chinese therapy which involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears, that correspond to other parts of your body. It involves applying pressure to specific reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion.

Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body’s energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. The pressure sends signals which balances the nervous system and releases chemicals such as endorphins, which reduces stress.

Reflexology is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related illness and emotional disorders. Reflexology is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is traumatized or diseased to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate.
