Reflexology

 

My Personal Reflection of Reflexology
 
I feel that providing reflexology is a wonderful way to bless my patients, by the gift of touch.  There are many references to feet in the bible and of touch. I believe that our God is sovereign and he continues to heal and restore his children through the power of the Holy Spirit and through his everlasting love. Reflexology for me, is a way of sharing this love with you, so you may  receive healing and restoration.
 
God Bless

What Is Reflexology?

Our bodies are amazingly resilient, continuously adapting to physical, mental and emotional challenges. Every minute of every day your body’s systems work together to create the subtle adjustment needed for good health. By using skillful pressure to specific points in the feet, a reflexologist helps balance the systems within your body.
 
Reflexology feels good, but it is much more in depth than a good foot massage. For either preventive care or in response to health challenges, reflexology supports balance, ease and healing.
 
We have over 7000 nerve endings on the soles of our feet. This makes them quite sensitive and responsive to the sensory input of reflexology.
 
Your nervous system mobilizes around new sensory input. For instance, when you bang your elbow, your whole body responds. Your jump, your heart races, you may yelp in pain. The principle also works for positive input. That is, when your reflexologist slowly and intentionally works your feet, your whole body relaxes, allowing tension and pain to subside. 
 
Your body is reflected in your feet. Years of experience by reflexologists and recipients alike suggest that when pressure is applied to the feet, predictable positive changes occur in specific areas elsewhere in the body
 
Reflexology has been shown to improve circulation. Circulation carries oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and carries wastes away. Improved circulation can result in increased muscles tension and soreness, and reduced swelling from injuries or illness. Immune function, skin tone and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
 
Reflexology in health care; Reflexology is used as complementary care for people with a variety of conditions. For example, reflexology can alleviate headaches. Reduce arthritic and back pain, give support during addiction withdrawal, ease premenstrual discomforts and reduce the symptoms of diabetes. 
 
In Switzerland, nurses working with terminally ill cancer patients routinely use reflexology to decrease pain and make patients more comfortable. In Great Britain, reflexology is part of the National Health Service. A number of employee health programs in Japan and Denmark now include reflexology.
 
Responses to Reflexology vary widely. After a session you may feel calm and relaxed, or you may experience a feeling of energy and rejuvenation. Some people initially experience fatigue after a session, but notice and increase of energy over the following days.
 
The more often you receive reflexology, the more benefits you are likely to notice. Your reflexologist will help you decide the best frequency to meet your specific needs. As you begin to experience feelings of well-being from your sessions, you may become more aware of how it feels to be truly relaxed. This  can help you recognize areas of tension, so you can take constructive steps to release them in your daily life.
