What Is Reflexology?

      Reflexology is a natural healing art that is usually directed at the hands and feet. It is based on the idea that there are zones or reflexes on the hands and feet that correspond to and are relative to all parts, glands and organs in the entire body.

 

How Does It Work?

      By stimulating the reflexes it causes the body’s natural electrical energy to travel along the nervous system to clear any blockages in the corresponding zones. Manipulating specific reflexes helps to remove stress and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for “rest and repair.” By removing stress and improving circulation, the body is more capable of returning to a state of “homeostasis” or “balance.”

 

Benefits of Reflexology.

 1. Relaxation and removal of      stress.

 3. Assists the body to normalize      metabolism naturally.

 4. Complements all other healing      modalities.

 

Who Can Have Reflexology?

      People seeking reflexology sessions are of all ages. Reflexology can be performed on everyone, from the newborn to the elderly. People seeking reflexology are usually health conscious and wish to explore health alternatives. The vast majority of clients realize the benefits of reducing stress, which in turn minimizes physical symptoms. Reflexology can be used to supplement ongoing medical treatments, a general ‘tune up”, pre-surgical and post surgical “tune ups.”

 

Is It Covered By Insurance?

      99% of the time your insurance company will not cover reflexology services. Clients can however, keep receipts and use them as an income tax write-off for medical expenses.
