Reflexology

Service Description

What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a form of massage with roots that go back to ancient Chinese medicine. The technique relies upon a map of the feet, which identifies pressure points that correspond to certain organs and muscles in the body and can even be used to stimulate the endocrine and nervous system. Sharon may focus on your heels if you’re suffering from pelvic or sciatic pain, and the tops of your four small toes for sinus trouble. Does Reflexology Work? If the outcome you’re hoping for is stress relief and a feeling of general wellness, then the simple answer is yes, reflexology really works. Many studies do show that reflexology can be beneficial to well-being in general, by increasing relaxation and lowering stress (similar to other forms of massage). What Are the Benefits? Stress reduction and relaxation. These are the main goals and rewards of reflexology. Relief from chronic pain and fatigue. Both anecdotal evidence and scientific research suggests that reflexology can provide relief from fatigue, insomnia and chronic pain—namely because these conditions are often either caused or exacerbated by psychological symptoms (think: anxiety). Better sleep. Many people sleep better after a single session. Join Reflexologist Laurel Abell and give your feet and your mind and body the tender loving care they deserve!
