Reflexology
focuses
fully on the foot. While it always feels good to
receive a foot massage, reflexology therapy is
more than just a foot massage.
It is based on the
idea that all nerves begin in the foot and travel
up the body. This means that, if any area of the
body is not functioning properly, reflex zone
therapy can help relieve the problem.
There can be many different types of benefits
receiving reflex zone therapy, some of which are
achieved instantaneously, and some which take
several treatments to achieve. Instant benefits of
a reflex zone therapy session can include:
- Increased blood flow to the rest of the body
- Relaxation
- Relief from current pain
- More energy
It is important to understand that this therapy
doesn’t work on everyone, and it works to a
different degree on every person. While reflexology therapy can compliment any other treatments
and help speed the healing process, it’s not
something that should replace other forms of
healthcare.
There are certain health conditions that
may not be suitable for reflexology. It is important to talk to your healthcare
provider first to find out if a reflexology treatment would be safe for you.
