What Are the Benefits of a Reflexology Foot Massage?

 Reflexology is a remarkable ancient technique that focuses on the study of how one part of the body relates to another. Reflexology focuses on the hands and feet and the reflexes map to all internal organs and parts of the human body. Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure and massaging particular spots on the hands and feet to rejuvenate, energize, and even heal some ailments. Reflexology goes beyond the feel-good effects of a foot massage with purpose that goes deeper than the muscles and skin. 

Pulling on the toes, kneading the fleshy ball of your foot, pushing deep into the arch and tracing the heel are some reflexology foot movements proven to elicit effective response. Reflexology provides a natural treatment that is proven to have the ability to reduce pain, it is safe without the use of pharmaceuticals and stimulates the body’s release of natural pain relieving chemicals. Reflexology is practiced in the UK, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, the U.S. and worldwide. 

According to the study Revisiting reflexology: Concept, evidence, current practice, and practitioner training, reflexology is well accepted by the general public with anecdotal evidence of relief for common ailments.  It is important that your reflexology practitioner receive proper training and accreditation to ensure consistent and correct treatments are applied.  The Woodhouse Day Spa in The Woodlands offers Foot Reflexology along with several foot treatments and pedicures to revitalize your legs and feet.
