Gravity literally drags us down! Uric acid and calcium crystals form along with other waste matter and build up at the bottom of the feet. As the feet lie furthest away from the heart there is a danger of the circulation stagnating to these areas (hands and feet) which are often referred to as the extremities. The calf muscles help to pump blood back up the legs to avoid things like pooling and DVT.
In Reflexology we disperse these toxins, break up the crystals ,through the lymphatic system and stimulate the circulation, rejuvenating the feet and indeed the body!
It is often bandied about that around 75% of illnesses today are exacerbated by stress. In the hectic modern world we live in it certainly doesn't surprise me!
As a Reflexologist my goal is to reduce stress by restoring balance and harmony to the body and mind, stimulating the nervous system , increasing circulation, eliminating toxins and helping to restore the body's natural rhythms. This is known as Homeostasis, a balanced state of mind and body.
Over a course of treatments (usually 4-6) a properly trained Reflexologist will apply pressure to specific points on the feet and or hands to release blocked energy and restore balance, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
The benefits to this treatment are endless.... Here are just a few!
Encourage better circulation
Relieves stress
Helps the immune system
Helps relieve pain
Improves bowel movement
Eliminates waste from body
Promotes relaxation
Assists post operative care
