LEARN FOOT MASSAGE AND REFLEXOLOGY

How often are you aware of your feet?
Maybe in the shower you notice how your feet look - the nails need trimming, the cuticles need cleaning, the heel skin is cracking, the corns are growing, the bunions are getting larger. Or do you only notice them when they hurt after a long day of wearing poorly fitting shoes?

Perhaps you notice them upon awakening in the morning when taking that first step out of bed.
Whrever you notice your feet, they are always "talking to you". When you sustain an injury to the foot the brain gets a message that says "OUCH". But if your feet hurt without an injury, they are reflecting or talking to you about your body's health.

Foot Reflexology is a type of massage and bodywork that focuses on the reflex zones of the feet. More than just a relaxing foot massage, Foot Reflexology offers health benefits to the whole body. You see, everyone has reflex zones in their body. All organs and body parts are reflected along one or more of these zones or meridians. These zones or meridians run the entire length of the body ending in each toe and the tips of the fingers. When these zones become blocked or congested, pain ensues along the zone lines and manifests at the end points in the hands and feet. The application of pressure to the reflex-zones, in the foot, provokes a healing response for the body.
Reflexology is a healing method that uses unique therapeutic foot trigger points to specific reflex zones found on the surface area of feet and ankles. There are 7,200 nerve endings in each foot.
Benefits of a foot reflexology session are many - calmness and serenity, improved circulation, improved lymph flow, increased energy, balanced emotions, detoxification, relaxation, homeostasis, a safe modality, and emotional release among many others.

Reflexology relieves stress, aches & pain, and lowers the chance of back pain & back injury.

A foot massage invigorates tired, aching, and sore feet - leaving your feet fresh, attractive and tingling and you feeling better all over.
