Care Services - Reflexology  What
is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the study and practice of working reflexes in the
hands and feet that correspond to other parts of the body. With
Specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology provides stimulation
and, thus causes responses (relaxation) in corresponding parts of
the body. Relaxation is the first step to the body's return to a
state of equilibrium, or homeostasis, in which circulation can flow
unimpeded to supply nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
One's state of health depends on this ability to respond to homeostasis
after a trauma or injury (i.e., injury disease, stress). So we say
it is the very purpose of reflexology to trigger this return. Since
stress and diseases are on going facts of life for most of us, reflexology,
in addition to its therapeutic uses, can serve as a preventive program.
 The
reflexes in the hands and feet are actually, a "reflection"
of the body parts. Their locations and relationships to each other
on the hands and feet follow a logical anatomical pattern which
closely resembles that of the body itself.
The hands and feet are a part of the body's overall response to
stress. Reflex areas reflect the overall dynamic state of tension
that exists between all body parts. Stress cues in the hands and
feet are a roadmap to the reflexologist. Wherever it is found on
a foot, it is a sign that stress and it's effect have begun to accumulate
in the corresponding parts of the body. The reflexologist observes
the cues of stress and applies pressure techniques to relax the
indicated stresses. The goal of the reflexologist is to create a
relaxation response keyed to the individual and his or her stress.
The result of such work has been defined by research as impacting,
health and well-being.
 What
to Expect:
During the first treatment it is quite common not to feel anything,
although the reflexology will still be effective. Often it takes
a couple treatments to awaken the reflexes. You may find that during
subsequent treatments your feet will become more sensitive. Be aware
that certain medication, serious illness or nerve damage can dull
the sensation but not the effectiveness.
Research Findings Show:
Impacts diseases, improves quality of life and influences the working
of the body to be effective in impacting disorders such as, diabetes,
constipation, headaches, high cholesterol, coronary heart disease,
MS, as well as many others.
