Smooth out stress and relieve built up tension in your foot area.

The most used and neglected part our the body are the feet. They’re always in motion and over time can make us miserable with constant pain and discomfort. A reflexology massage is a treatment based on the principle that certain areas and points on our feet, hands, and ears are connected through the nervous system. When pressure is applied to these areas and points, it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels and helps to restore the body’s homeostatic balance.

There are approximately 7,000 nerve endings in the human foot and each of them is a reflex point that corresponds to a body part. We use special finger and thumb techniques to manipulate and stimulate these reflex points following a Reflexology chart. We divide the foot into five zones that run from toe to heel: The big toe is zone 1, and the pinky toe is zone 5. The body is divided into 10 zones that run from head to foot. Zone 1 aligns with the left and right center of the body, and zone 5 aligns with the left and right sides of the body. When you place pressure on zone 1 in the foot, it can relieve pain in the part of the body that’s linked to that area. We begin the massage by gently smoothing oil or cream on your feet. Next, we’ll put mild to moderate pressure on one foot at a time using different techniques — returning to certain pressure points a second or third time to cover everything during the session, and not just the points connected to any trouble spots you might have. At some point, you might feel so relaxed that you gently fall asleep, or you could feel a rush of emotions as energy moves through your body.

This massage comes with a wide array of benefits. As bodies age, the nerve endings become less and less sensitive y. Opening up and cleaning out neural pathways can help improve the functionality and flexibility of nerves and cells in various organs in the body. Hence, it is extremely beneficial and crucial to your health to keep them active. It also helps stimulate neural pathways in your brain to let information flow faster, resulting better cognitive and physical reactions plus a boost in your memory. It also helps increase circulation throughout your body, eliminate body toxins, and reduce pesky headaches. By delivering an abundance of relaxation in your system, a reflexology massage can induce a state of calm throughout your body and mind to help them get back to their normal, healthy rhythms.
