Reflexology dates back thousands of years and today it is receiving
admirable attention from beauty and health care professionals
throughout the world.
Reflexology is a
therapy of stimulating the feet with pressure and relaxation
techniques that provide a relaxing and energizing effect to
every part of the body.
Reflexology is a
natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes
in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body.
By stimulating and
applying pressure to the feet or
hands, you are increasing circulation and promoting specific bodily
and muscular functions. This therapy of pressure and relaxation
technique provides a relaxing and energizing effect to the
body as a whole.
Reflexology should not be painful. A proper
treatment provides the feet with healthful, nourishing movements and
alleviates stress from binding footwear and hard, flat surfaces we
walk on.
A typical Reflexology
reflex session includes a warm, soothing footbath, soft Reflexology
movements to the hands, and a variety of therapeutic movements and
pressure point techniques applied to the feet. A
treatment promotes deep relaxation and homeostasis.
If we think for a
moment, the feet are a person's very foundation, physically and
psychologically. As the population approaches their senior years,
ailing feet will necessitate the seeking of a Reflexologist to aid
in the comfort and well being of the client.
Reflexology, as a profession, provides outstanding opportunities in
the health field arena. Trained Reflexologist can chose to
work independently as their own boss, or be employed by Reflexology
clinics, doctor's offices, hotels, resorts, spas, salons, health
clubs, and various allied health centers. |
