Reflexology

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands relative to each and every organ and all parts of the body. It is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet with specific thumb and hand techniques without the use of oils, lotions, or tools. Stimulation of these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way.

Did you know each foot has over 7,000 nerve endings? By stimulating the nerve endings a change in the body is caused and naturally improves your circulation. This will relieve stress and promote relaxation and allow the body to heal itself. Many doctors have agreed that stress can be the cause of many of our health problems. Reflexology is a safe and easy way to improve nerve and blood supply, because only the hands are used, it is a simple and effective method without the use of tools.

Reflexology is a very ancient method of helping the body to normalize. It dates back as early as 2330 B.C. by Egyptian cultures. The translation from the wall painting found in the tomb of Ankhmahor reads "Don't hurt me." The practitioner's reply is "I shall act so you praise me." Today's method is based on the research of Zone Theory developed by Dr. William Fitzgerald. Eunice Ingham took this theory and developed techniques into what we know as Reflexology today.
Reflexology is an advance in the field of better health and should not be confused with massage. Be sure to visit the web page of the Reflexology Association of America for more information on the differences between Reflexology and massage, and why it should not be included under massage ordinances.

Reflexology can not make any condition more acute. Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well-being in the same way as you would use any type of exercise or diet program.

Reflexology.....it's MORE than a foot massage!
