QUESTION: I was given a Reflexology session for Christmas. What exactly is it?

ANSWER (by Fiona): Reflexology is one of the most ancient forms of massage and is a treatment where the therapist works primarily on your feet. The theory behind reflexology is that there are “reflex points” in the feet that relate to specific body parts and organs in the body. Specific pressure techniques applied to these reflex points is believed to promote health in that area via the body’s energetic pathways. When done by a skilled practitioner, reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment with benefits that can be felt throughout the body: relaxing the body and the mind, relieving stress, and helping to restore a general feeling of well-being. People of all ages may benefit from this treatment. While some individuals may choose to enjoy the therapy on an occasional basis, many choose to receive such treatments regularly to help maintain their health and well-being. Reflexology is recommended as a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment. Phone today for an appointment and experience the amazing benefits of reflexology!
