How Reflexology with Countingsheeptherapy can help you
The benefits of Reflexology
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying varying amounts of pressure to specific points on usually the feet or sometimes hands*. These points are believed to correspond with various organs or other parts of the body. Although there is no scientific evidence to prove that reflexology can prevent or cure diseases, studies suggest it may help to relieve certain symptoms, such as pain and anxiety.
Here is how reflexology works and some potential benefits to you:
How does it work?:
Reflexology is based on the theory that areas of the body can be mapped onto areas of the feet or hands via zones.
During a reflexology session, I apply pressure and stimulation to these specific points.
The theory behind working on these zones is that:
- Stimulation of reflex points enhances nervous system connections to corresponding body parts;
- Stimulation of the points improves blood flow to the related body parts.
Reflexology is believed to restore energy flow and open any blockages
Benefits:
Reflexology can help with:
- Pain reduction
- Relaxation
- Mood elevation
- Stress relief
- Improved sleep
In summary, reflexology is a practice that aims to promote relaxation and well-being by stimulating specific points on the feet. While its effectiveness varies, many individuals find relief from symptoms through this complementary therapy.
*Please note that I personally only use reflexology on the feet.
