What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a focused pressure technique applied to the feet. It is based on the premise that there are reflexes and zones on different parts of the body that correspond to, and are relative to, all organs, glands and parts. It works by stimulating reflexes which induces the body to send natural electrical currents along the nervous system to clear any blockages in the corresponding zones. When pressure is applied to any of these zones it will affect the entire zone.

What are the benefits?

Benefits one would receive from reflexology are:

  • Relaxation, reduced stress and anxiety.

  • Enhanced circulation.

  • Boosts immune system function.

  • Helps with sleeping disorders, migraines/headaches, digestive and balance issues.

  • Restores body balance, returning it back to a normal state of homeostasis.

Plus it compliments all other modalities!

Who can receive reflexology?

Reflexology can be applied to all ages for general maintenance or to assist an unhealthy body. The pressure applied by the Reflexologist ranges from 1-5 lbs. A complete session is performed on both feet and a session averages approximately 1.25 hours.

How frequent should the treatments be?

Reflexology is safe and enjoyable to receive as often as you like. Many clients do well on a monthly schedule for maintenance.  Those who are dealing with more specific issues such as sleeping issues or anxiety manage well on a weekly to bi-weekly schedule to start, and eventually transition to a monthly schedule.

Pre-treatment recommendations:

It is recommended to be well hydrated and to be wearing comfortable clothing when you have a session. It is also crucial to continue drinking water after a session as your body may experience a mild detox and therefore it is essential to flush out these toxins.

 

I have always struggled with low energy. Everything felt like a huge chore. I had just become so use to living this way that it became a “normal” way of living for me. I never went out and became house bound. One day a friend forced me out and took me to see Lesley. I am so full of energy now I just can’t stop smiling. I have a whole new lease on life. I feel like a kid again.

My feet feel so light and have improved mobility after my reflexology treatments. I will definitely continue to invest in my health at Arden Wellness.
