Reflexology therapy is a type of massage treatment that can revitalize the mind and body, restoring vital energy levels and providing mental clarity. When applying pressure to specific points of the feet and hands, a reflexology practitioner at Inspine Therapy can stimulate nerve endings, promote circulation, and more.
What Is Reflexology Treatment?
The origins of reflexology treatment come from ancient Chinese medicine. It operates on the belief that the energy pathways in the body can become blocked. In stimulating specific reflex points, the natural flow of energy can be restored.
How Does Reflexology Therapy Work?
Each point manipulated on the feet or hands corresponds to various organs and systems in the body. This is where reflexology differs from massage therapy. Reflexology therapy works by stimulating reflex points and not the muscles and soft tissues of the body. Rather than healing from the outside in, targeting these points heals from the inside out.
Who Can Benefit from Reflexology
Almost anyone can benefit from reflexology, and it’s suitable for people of all ages, from young children to elderly patients. Reflexology treatment is most often used at Inspine Therapy as a treatment for stress, chronic pain, or digestive issues.
Unique Healing Properties of Reflexology
Reduce Stress
Reflexology promotes relaxation and balances the autonomic nervous systems. For many patients, this leaves them with a calm mind and improved sleep patterns from the stress that’s been lifted off their shoulders.
Improve Circulation
Reflexology treatment stimulates the physical body in a way that enhances blood flow and oxygenation, similar to acupuncture. As it relates to healing, detoxification, and overall physical fitness, there are numerous benefits to improved circulation.
Alleviate Chronic Pain Symptoms
Particularly in cases of arthritis, migraines, and back pain, reflexology can alleviate pain and similar symptoms in the body. As the inflammation in the body reduces and physical stress is released, the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms can kick in.
Enhance Your Immune System
A boosted immune system is one of several benefits achieved when you make reflexology a part of your self-care routine. A stronger immune system means your body will be better equipped to fight illness.
