What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and
hands to effect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and
hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying technique a reflexologist can break
up patterns of stress in other parts of the body.
How does reflexology work?
There are many theories but in our approach we look at the nervous system as the
explanation of reflexology's working.
Pressure applied to the feet generates a signal through the peripheral nervous
system. From there it enters the central nervous system where it is processed in
various parts of the brain. It is then relayed to the internal organs to allocate the
necessary adjustments in fuel and oxygen, Finally a response is fashioned that is
sent onto the motor system.
This message is feed forward to adjust the body's tone or overall tension level. If
applied properly the tone will reset itself to a lower operating tempo. A lower
operating tempo means a lessening of stress and less wear and tear on the body's
systems.
What are the benefits of reflexology ?
In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress.
Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body they
are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's
equilibrium.
Whether reflexology can benefit certain conditions and diseases in still under
investigation. Further scientific study need to be done in order to come to some
definite benefits of reflexology in regard to illness and disease.
Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as
medical advice. It should not be a replacement to medical help. Please use it wisely.
We care about your safety.
When should I do reflexology ?
Reflexology can be done practically anytime and any where. The trick is consistency.
We have been impressed with the results from China. Their secret seems to be that
they do reflexology once a day for six days in two week segments. Then they review
the results and do more segments as necessary.
This requires self help and family help as well as the guidance of practitioners. The
practitioner can give you a quality signal to break up the pattern of stress but you
and your family can provide the quantity to help break it up.
Build reflexology into your life. It is easy to do reflexology well doing other activities.
Put a foot roller under your desk or work your hands while waiting for the kids at
school. Be creative but be consistent. Five minutes a day is worth more than an hour
once in awhile.
