Our clinic foot reflexology treatments are a relaxing foot & lower limb massage offered in our Zen Den massage room with a heated bed and warm blankets.
Foot Reflexology is an ancient Asian practice whereby massage pressure is applied to specific parts of the foot that corresponds to parts, glands and organs of the body. Through application of pressure to these points encourage detoxification, healing and relief from various conditions and unwanted aliments.
Reflexology aids in relieving tension and stress, improves microvascular circulation and reduces inflammation and lymphatic congestion thus decreasing the symptoms of autoimmune conditions, removes toxic substances, eases pain, and brings about a profound sense of calm. Additionally, it helps remove blocked energy, which in Eastern medicine is thought to be the main reason for feeling unwell.
There are different theories about the exact way that reflexology works, but the main concept of all is that different areas of the feet are linked to specific body parts, and that putting pressure on one area of the foot can have an effect on the organ that it corresponds with.
Reflexology may help you feel less stressed, more relaxed, and more energized.
Reflexologists often refer to the feet as a “map” of the entire body. They believe that different areas on the feet correspond to specific organs and body parts. For example, the ball of the foot is thought to relate to the heart and chest, while the heel corresponds to the lower back and intestines. So, when you’re getting a foot reflexology massage, you’re not just pampering your feet – you’re potentially benefiting your entire body!
A session typically lasts 50 minutes. The practitioner applies pressure using their fingers, thumbs, and hands to designated areas of the feet, hands, or ears while the client remains seated or lying down.
