Peace of Mind Reflexology
at Azure Skin Care Spa+ MedicalReflexology is a form of body work that,
aims to treat the whole person and induce a state of relaxation, and harmony, which will encourage the natural ability of the body to heal itself. It is a science and an art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, ears, and feet, which correspond to every part of your body. By applying pressure techniques with your thumb, fingers, and hand, reflexology will reduce tension, promote relaxation, increase circulation, and help bring the body back to balance.
History of Reflexology
Modern reflexology is less than 100 years old, but promoting healing through feet, hands, and ears has been practiced by many cultures for centuries. The most famous evidence of reflexology is dated 2330 B.C. and was discovered in the tomb of Ankhmahor, the physician to the pharaoh. It is a wall painting depicting two Egyptian physicians performing foot and handwork on two clients. There have been written records of reflexology being practiced in China and India 2000-4000 years ago. In 1913, reflexology was brought to the Western world by an American ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. William Fitzgerald; and in the 1930′s Eunice Ingham, an American physiotherapist, went one step further and eventually mapped out the entire body on the foot, and modern reflexology was born.
How Reflexology Works
Reflexes are connected to your nervous system. By using pressured thumb and finger techniques, working on a foot (hand, or ear) triggers a reflex action in a corresponding part of the body. This action is simply to relax tension which reduces vascular constriction and allows the blood and nerve supply to flow more freely. Oxygen and nutrients make their way to the areas where needed and your body is then able to repair itself.
