What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is “a science that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body”, according to the International Institute of Reflexology®. Reflexology is a method to help the body heal itself. By using the thumb and fingers, a certified Reflexologist releases tension and toxins from specific reflexes in the hands and feet. This improves circulation and balance and helps the body heal.

What is a Session Like?
Our Certified Reflexologist provides a comfortable recliner in which you will sit during your session. A session begins with a discussion with the Reflexologist of any physical issues you may have. Our Practitioner will begin with working on your hands to help relax the body and prepare your system for the Reflexology. Then she will focus on specific reflexes in the feet that relate to your particular needs. Our Reflexologist will be looking for congestion, which is toxicity, in certain reflexes. The Reflexology process will help release these toxins. The session is relaxing and rejuvenating. A refreshing lotion is provided at the end of the session if you so desire.
Statistics of Reflexology:
Reflexology has shown to help many diseases and illnesses. The following research is from the Reflexology Research group:
For Assistance in Arthritis:
Forty-two cases of acromioclaviclar (shoulder) arthritis received thirty minute sessions of foot reflexology once a day for 15 days. At the finish, 8 were "cured," 20 were "distinctly effective" and 14 cases were "improved." Zhi-xian, Ma and Jin-li, Zhang, "Foot Reflexology in the Treatment of Acromioclavicular Arthritis, (19)96 Beijing International Reflexology Conference (Report), China Preventive Medical Association and the Chinese Society of Reflexology, Beijing, 1996, p. 55
For Assistance in Shoulder Pain:
The 39 cases of shoulder pain ranged in age from 49 to 58 years old. At the completion of reflexology treatment, 32 had been cured (pain disappeared, the arm and shoulder could move freely) and 17 had received an effect (pain reduced, the movement of the arm and shoulder obviously improved).Yu Baofu, Han Houngling, Yang Huaiqing, Li Caixia, "Treatment of Shoulder-Joint Pain with Foot Reflexology," 1998 Beijing International Reflexology Conference Report, China Reflexology Association, Beijing, pp. 69-70
