Reflexology is the ancient art of
stimulating reflex areas that relate to different parts of the body, including
organs, muscles and glands.
Working on these reflex points can trigger physiological changes in specific
areas of the body by stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems. The benefits of Reflexology include
reducing stress and tension, improving circulation, alleviating pain, balancing
the nervous system, boosting lymphatic function, improving sleep patterns,
increasing energy, relieving digestive issues and detoxifying the body.
In 1917 Dr. William Fitzgerald
began studying the effects of “Zone Therapy” where he found that he could
relieve pain in other parts of the body by working on corresponding “zones” in
the hands and feet. Inspired by Dr. Fitzgerald’s work, Eunice Ingram did
further research and discovered that feet were more responsive to pressure than
hands. She also created a map of the body with the corresponding reflex points
on the foot. In 1973 the first Reflexology Association was started in America
and has helped to introduce the practice to many more people.
We offer Reflexology sessions as
well as classes open to the general public. Experience the benefits of
Reflexology for yourself!
