Reflexology is a scientifically based alternative/ complimentary treatment rooted in the knowledge that our feet, hands and ears contain trigger or reflex points for every organ, gland, and part of the body. It is used to help release muscle tension, organ and gland disfunction, and improve your overall emotional wellbeing. It has also been shown to be effective in treating a host of ailments, including, but not limited to, muscle pain, fatigue, anxiety, bowl regularity, diseases such as kidney, diabetes, sinusitis, arthritis and even cancer, premenstrual syndrome, and headaches/migraines. In my studio two different types of reflexology are offered: traditional (Chinese) and Thai. In general, your reflexology session, unless used in conjunction with a regular massage, will take place in a luxuriously comfortable leather Zero Gravity chair, which by design will help hasten relaxation even before the session begins, but I go the extra mile to ensure your comfort by also placing a lightly heated face pillow over your eyes and covering you with a light throw blanket. Your feet are then cleansed using warm wet compresses treated with a natural antiseptic, like tea tree oil, before a high concentrate CBD salve, especially formulated for feet, is applied. During the traditional style session, pressure is applied using mostly thumbs to specific places of the top and bottom of your feet. If sensitivity is detected, generally that indicates some form of disfunction in that related part of the body while dissipation of tenderness after a short time accompanies an associated improvement in the related area. In Thai style, a wooden tool rather than the practitioner's thumbs are used to apply direct pressure to specific places on the foot. This style is utilized more for its ability to promote relaxation than as a form of treatment for other physical and emotional ailments, as it is extremely hard to ascertain "congestion" in the reflex tissue through use of the wooden tool. Thai tradition also dictates various massage, stretching and energy release techniques be used as part of the session, which are not typical of traditional style. Reflexology is an incredibly relaxing experience, but you may experience intermittent, temporary sharp pains, lasting mere milliseconds locally where pressure is being applied to the foot, to tingling/ electrical impulses in the related part of the body. These are all quite normal.
