Reflexology

Why Reflexology?
When we don't handle stress well, the
body's defenses breakdown and we
become more susceptible to illness.
Stress and tension tighten up the
cardiovascular system and restrict
blood flow. By reducing stress and
tension, Reflexology allows the
cardiovascular vessels to conduct the
flow of blood naturally and easily.
Nervous people pace back and forth;
wring their hands; rub hands together;
bite their nails and some even handle
worry beads and/or rocks.
Unknowingly they are relieving
tensions by working the reflexes.
Reflexology is a systematic method of
removing stress which aids in the
maintenance of optimal health.
What is a treatment like?
You will lie on your back on a reclining
chair, face up, with your shoes and
socks removed. You will be made
comfortable while listening to soft
music. Aromatherapy may be diffused
in the room to aid relaxation and
increase your senses. Both patient and
reflexologist must be positioned
comfortably to ensure maximum
relaxation. A reflexologist will generally
work on the bare feet, but if this is not
possible, the treatment can be given
on the hands.
