Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that aims at affecting the deeper tissue structuIn reflexology, pressure is applied to specific reflex points on the foot. These points correspond to organs and areas of the body. The treatment induces a healing response and can be expected to alleviate some ailments. I sometimes also work on the hands or ears to trigger relaxation, but foot reflexology is the most common treatment.
Reflexology is one of the most popular types of massage. Beyond the feel-good effects of the treatment, the practice and purpose go deeper than the skin and muscles. Reflexology may seem similar to a simple foot massage but there are some key differences. Massage therapy is the manipulation of tissues to relax the muscles, relieve tension, and improve circulation. This can improve overall health and well-being.
Reflexology, on the other hand, uses a targeted, pressure-point massage to restore the flow of energy throughout the body.

Reflexology can address anything from headaches to sinus problems to stomach issues. If sensi tivity or tenderness is experienced when an area is stimulated, it usually indicates bodily weaknesses or imbalances within the corresponding organ.
With repeated pressure and manipulation of nerve endings, reflexology can help to clear any channels of blocked energy. It is said to do so through moving the flow of blood, nutrients and nerve impulses. This ultimately improves overall health and balance. Other potential benefits include cleansing the body of toxins, boosting the immune system, increasing blood circulation, healing promotion, energy balancing.
Important Things to Remember:
– Wait at least one hour after the massage before eating.
– Dont receive reflexology if you are pregnant. Try a prenatal massage instead. – Drink water following the treatment to eliminate toxins and lactic acid buildup that occurs during the massage.
– Tell me if you have foot problems, an injury or a blood vessel disease associated with clots or varicose veins.
