FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an alternative therapy that involves putting pressure on specific parts of the foot. It is not the same as a regular foot massage.It is believed that putting pressure on the foot can heal unrelated problems elsewhere in the body.
The most used, abused, and neglected part of the body is our feet. They are always in motion and over time can make us miserable with annoying pain and discomfort.
Reflexology foot massages relieve stress and built-up tension. Adding this to your personal health and wellness plan will advance your efforts to live a healthier and less stressed lifestyle.
Stress and Anxiety
The most important benefits of foot reflexology are relaxation and stress management. This is achieved by applying certain points on the feet. Thus reflexology increases blood flow through the body, which helps to decrease stress and anxiety and lower blood pressure. When you feel less stressed and less anxious, it’s easy to feel relaxed.
Relieves Migraines and Headaches
Reflexology is often sought after by people in pain because reflexology can reduce the severity of migraines and headaches by increasing blood flow and relieving muscle tension. Since stress and psychological factors often manifest themselves as migraine symptoms, stress-induced headaches can also be eliminated.
Relaxation
Reflexology feels incredibly soothing and relaxing way, especially after a long day of standing and walking around. A foot massage before going to sleep improves the feeling of general well-being.
Sleep
Certain points on the feet help in alleviating symptoms of depression. A reflexology foot massage can help relieve these symptoms and put you in a better mood, makes you feel relaxed, and helps you sleep better.
Improves circulation
Due to a mostly sedentary lifestyle, our muscles are very much stressful. The muscles in the feet get hardly any exercise and circulation is often impaired by tight and uncomfortable shoes. A massage session before going to bed can greatly improve circulation in the lower extremities, which is particularly important for people suffering from diabetes.
For pain relief
Reflexology is known to treat pains and aches all over the body due to its pressure points. It helps in pain relief from headaches, neck pain, backaches, and much more.
Eye Stress
Reflexology can help to reverse some of the stress we put on our eyes just from our daily activities. The pressure points help to relax the tight muscles caused by looking at our screens all day.
