Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology was practiced by ancient Chinese and Egyptian cultures which extolled the healing effects of foot reflexology on the entire body. Not until the early twentieth century did this technique reach the West.

Reflexology is a science that’s based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet and hands which correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body. By using the practitioner’s thumb and fingers they can determine the areas that need the most attention and help relieve your aching body helping it feel peaceful, calm, renewed, and restored.

Benefits of reflexology include:

  •  Improved nerve function

  •  Boost energy

  •  Increase circulation (both blood and lymphatic fluids)

  •  Promote relaxation

  •  Eliminate toxins

  •  Promote homeostasis (balancing all body systems)

  •  Reduce headaches

  •  Speed up healing

  •  Relieve side effects of cancer treatment

  •  Ease pregnancy

    More research needs to be done, but reflexology has never been known to cause damage in any way, and has shown relaxation and healing properties.

    The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says the following:

  •  In a study funded by the National Cancer Institute, women with advanced breast cancer who received reflexology treatments showed improvement in a few symptoms, such as shortness of breath, but not others, such as nausea orpain. In this study, reflexology was safe even for the most fragile patients.

  •  A small amount of research suggests that reflexology might be helpful for reducing a burning or prickling sensation sometimes associated with

    multiple sclerosis, but there’s insufficient evidence to support the use of reflexology for most multiple sclerosis symptoms. The results of this study showed that reflexology therapy for patients with multiple sclerosis can improve pain, fatigue, and quality of life. It can be used as an effective intervention to effectively treat the pain and fatigue of MS patients and improve the quality of life of MS patients.

Testimonials

“I love walking away from a reflexology session with Arlene! She is kind and compassionate and makes you feel comfortable. During the session I learned about how parts of my body are connected and afterwards my feet feel HAPPY. Very satisfied and highly recommend.” - Diane R

“What a cozy, relaxing atmosphere Arlene provides-the music, the oils, and her warm presence makes one instantly at ease. She is professional and knowledgeable, and I think her background as a nurse lends added benefit to her understanding of the body and how to treat various ailments.” - Margo W.

“While I was in ND last summer, Arlene treated me and it was so helpful! It allowed my feet to bend better so I wasn’t so clumsy in my walking. Since my return to Florida, I have tried three different reflexologists. None have helped half as much as Arlene. I will continue trying to find someone. Or I’ll just have to go to ND to get my treatments.!! Thanks Arlene.” -Lola R.
