Understanding Reflexology

Reflexology can seem puzzling to newcomers. The idea that pressing specific points on the feet can impact overall health may seem strange. However, this technique works because reflex points on the feet and hands are connected to various parts of the body through the nervous system.
Each foot contains approximately 7,000 nerve endings. When these points are stimulated, signals travel through the nervous system to the brain, which then helps regulate different organs and glands. This process promotes balance within the body and mind.

The Benefits of Reflexology

Unlike Western medicine, reflexologists do not diagnose or treat specific illnesses. Instead, they focus on the entire person. By examining the reflexes on the feet and taking into account the client’s medical history, physical and emotional health, and lifestyle, reflexologists aim to address the underlying causes of health issues.

Health problems often stem from internal imbalances, such as stress reactions, inflammation, or hormonal disruptions. Even when an illness is caused by an external factor, like a virus, the body’s response involves maintaining internal balance.

Reflexology can trigger the body’s natural healing processes. This holistic approach is particularly effective for complex conditions. For example, a client suffering from migraines might be dealing with muscle tension, low serotonin levels, food sensitivities, and hormonal imbalances. Reflexology can target all these factors in one session.
