Reflexology

 

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is massaging specific areas of the hands or feet for the purpose of relieving the stress or pain in corresponding areas of the body.

How Reflexology works?

There are over 7.000 nerve endings on the bottom of each foot. Stimulation of these nerve endings send signals along the spinal cord, and up to the thalamus gland in the brain, which produces its own opiate-like painkillers called endorphins. Reflexology stimulates the body’s own pain killing system. It is similar to acupuncture, the placement of needles in certain points in the body. However, Reflexology uses only massage on the hands or feet to relive the stress of the body.

How long will relief last?

It all depends on the individual. When the stress returns usually the pain will also, If the person is in good health, a onetime headache can easily be relieved; however, if the person has chronic back pain, then the Reflexology massage could provide only temporary relief. More sessions can mean more relaxation which in turn gives longer periods of relief.
