HEAD TO TOES REFLEXOLOGY AND FOOT CARE
What is Reflexology ?
It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves applying finger and thumb pressure to specific points on the hands and feet. These points are called 'reflexes' and they reflect or mirror all the organs and structurers in the body as well as a persons emotional health. This is a perfect holistic healing therapy and is based on the theory that health is the real harmony between the body, mind and spirit.
Stresses of any kind, be they physical, psychological, social or environmental can upset the balance and cause 'dis-ease' within the body and mind.
Reflexology is a method of contacting the electrical centres in the body. It purpose is to create a smooth flow of 'vibratory energy' throughout the body. By contacting various points on the feet this energy is thought to travel to the spine and then out to the organs, glands or cells, following set paths. This aims to stabilise elements lacking or unbalanced in a person's basic energy, the touch of the Reflexologist hand on a person's feet can also be thought to create a flow of energy between them. This particular technique of touch has a great ability to calm down and completely relax a person.
Simply by holding a person's feet or hands you become very aware of their internal structure, the limbs, bones, joints, muscles, arteries, nerves, skin and nails, you can also read the energy structure within.
Precision Reflexology
What is Precision Reflexology ?
Precision Reflexology is one form of reflexology and as such, it holds the same rationale as other forms of the therapy. It focuses on stimulating 'reflex points' on the feet in order to maintain good health. Practitioners believe that, by applying appropriate pressure to these points, it is possible to treat a wide range of disorders.
Reflex areas are on both Dorsal and Plantar aspects of both feet. The specific technique, which is exclusive to this, is called 'Linking'. This involves holding two or three identified reflex points at the same time to add power and definition to the treatment. As the link is held, for just a few moments, the reflexologist just listens, via the hands and in this way the treatment is matched to the individual with precision work.
'Linking' is initiated by stimulating the reflexes to be connected and feeling the energy between them. This is an amazing sensation, felt by both the reflexologist and the client, this can be felt as a tingle, a pulse or heat.
