Reflexology is a therapeutic
practice focusing on massaging the feet. Reflexology is quickly gaining
momentum because of the wide range of benefits it can offer—from relieving
stress and pain to treating muscular injuries. According to studies, reflexology
is also good for a whole body or holistic therapy. Every pressure point on the
foot corresponds to a body part. Doing therapeutic massage on these pressure
points activates your nervous system to heal itself.
If you want to undergo a
therapeutic massage, especially reflexology, you must find the best therapists.
On your first session, the therapist will talk you through the orientation. He
might need information on your medical background, history of diseases,
lifestyle, and other health or medical problems. If you are already good for
reflexology, you will now undergo preliminary therapeutic massage. Reflexology
initially involves light pressure on your feet to identify which muscle groups
or areas in your body are experiencing problems. This initial therapeutic
massage serves as the diagnosis of the therapist. If the diagnosis is done, the
therapist would proceed to the session proper. Every session may involve 30
minutes to one hour of reflexology. Depending on the case, some therapist may
need longer hours to address the medical problem.
Reflexology is well studied by
ancient Chinese and oriental people. Chinese people believe that reflexology
involves opening your circulation for proper energy flow thus balancing your
Qi. So aside from stress relief and pain alleviation, reflexology may also
restore your energy. Since this therapeutic massage promotes self-healing, any
sore or worn out body parts will surely be energized. Also, since reflexology
promotes good blood circulation, it can address migraine, poor metabolism and
digestion, loose bowel movement, and headaches. Asthma, headaches, and problems
in the internal organ can also be addressed by reflexology. Since reflexology
is a form of therapeutic massage, it can also save someone from depression or, at
least, lessen anxiety.
Reflexology can be good in
relieving many forms of pain but it should not be a substitute to any
prescribed drugs. It should not also be a substitute to any corrective
procedure on medical practices such as bone realignment. There are many
benefits that reflexology can offer. Although there are little studies that can
provide us with the disadvantages of reflexology, it is still important to have
it in moderation; and handled by professionals.
