More about reflexology:
History of reflexology - The ancient healing
art of reflexology has been known to man for many thousands
of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese
and Egyptian peoples. In 1913 Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American
ear, nose and throat surgeon, introduced this therapy to the
West. He noted that pressure on specific parts of the body could
have an anaesthetising effect on a related area. Developing
this theory, he divided the body into ten equal and vertical
zones, ending in the fingers and toes. He concluded that pressure
on one part of a zone could affect everything else within that
zone. Thus, reflex areas on the feet and hands are linked to
other areas and organs of the body within the same zone.
In the 1930's, Eunice Ingham, a therapist, further developed
and refined the zone therapy into what is now known as foot
reflexology. She observed that congestion or tension in any
part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding
part of the body. Thus, when you treat the big toes there is
a related effect in the head, and treating the whole foot can
have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body.
How Can Reflexology Help You?
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness,
stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of "imbalance",
and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from
functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore
and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
A reflexologist uses hands only to apply gentle pressure to
the feet. For each person the application and the effect of
the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny
deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these
points the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the
free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and
circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy
encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting
a lifetime of misuse.
Who Can Benefit From Reflexology?
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms
of disease, most people benefit from treatment. The therapy
brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions,
and is suitable for all ages. Once your body is in-tune, it
is wise to have regular treatments in order to help maintain
health and well-being. An increasing number of people are using
this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and
harmonising the body.
What Happens When You Go For Treatment?
On your first visit there is a preliminary talk with the practitioner.
The reflexologist then begins to work on your feet, or hands
if necessary, noting problem areas. There may be discomfort
in some places, but it is fleeting, and is an indication of
congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of the body.
For the most part, the sensation is pleasant and soothing. Reflexology
will relax you while stimulating the body's own healing mechanisms.
Usually a treatment session lasts for about one hour. A course
of treatment varies in length depending on your body's needs.
Your reflexologist will discuss this with you at the first session.
After the first treatment or two your body may respond in a
very definite way: you may have a feeling of well-being and
relaxation; or you may feel lethargic, nauseous or tearful,
but this is transitory. It is, however, vital information for
reflexologists, as it shows how your body is responding to treatment.
