Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic practice that has numerous benefits for the body. It can help in relieving physical pain, balancing emotions, and alleviating the symptoms of various health conditions. By stimulating specific reflex points on the hands and feet, reflexology can restore the natural balance between different systems of the body. Reflexology has been used since ancient Egyptian times, and each reflex point corresponds to an organ, gland, or part of the skeleton. Sublime is a registered member of the CNHC - Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council for Reflexology. The CHNC registration is recognized by many private health cash plan providers for reimbursement. However, it's always better to check with your provider.
Reflexology Explained.
Reflexology is a therapeutic technique that involves massaging and stretching the lower leg or arm to enhance blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, thereby improving skin tone and calming the nerve endings. The therapist applies firm pressure to specific reflex zones using their thumbs and fingers in a continuous and fluid motion. They may also pivot on a particular area to apply extra pressure and stimulate energy flow, which helps the body restore its balance.
During the treatment, you will remain fully dressed, but if you wear trousers, you must roll them up to the knee or remove them to prevent creasing. Also, avoid wearing nail varnish on your toenails as this can hinder the therapist's assessment and monitoring during the session.
For added comfort and luxury, you can choose to lie on a warm water cushion that supports your back and helps release tension from the muscles and soft tissues. If you want this option, please inform Sublime before your appointment to prepare it for you.
Reflexology Effects.
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that offers numerous health benefits. Stress is known to be a major contributor to about 75% of diseases, and Reflexology can alleviate this issue. With over 7,000 nerve endings located in the foot and lower leg, Reflexology can promote deep relaxation, which can help relieve physical pain and facilitate emotional balance. When our body is imbalanced or fatigued, it can lead to stiffness and aches. Reflexology can reduce these symptoms by allowing fresh blood to nourish the tissues and stimulate the elimination of waste products. This therapy can relieve the body's tension and help locate the site where the pain started. Additionally, Reflexology stimulates the organs and glands of the body, promoting overall harmony and well-being.
