What is Reflexology?
As a Reflexologist, I believe that reflexology helps release stress in more than one way, which in turn helps the body heal and regenerate itself.
In general, therapists agree that there are a few ways in which this works...
-
Reflexology works with the central nervous system to send calming messages to the body which adjust the tension levels. As a result there is increased blood supply which brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning
-
Reflexology reduces pain by reducing stress and improving mood. Stress and moods can have a significant influence on the way pain is received and processed by the brain, as such, reflexology may reduce pain by reducing stress and improving mood
-
Reflexology keeps the body’s “vital energy” flowing. There is a "vital energy" in the human body. If stress is not addressed, it leads to congestion of energy, which in turn causes bodily inefficiencies, which can lead to illness.
