Benefits of Reflexology

 

Foot Reflexology can be a profoundly relaxing and therapeutic modality for those suffering from plantar fasciitis, ankle injuries, or everyday work and play. The practitioner will apply acupressure and gua sha, a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves scraping the skin to produce light bruising, to the foot, calf, and lower limb in a session. This will not only help relieve toe pain, ankle pain, plantar fasciitis, and common forms of arthritis but can also decrease stress and anxiety in the entire body. In addition, a variety of stretches can be beneficial. With pain and sensitivity in the foot, heel, and calf areas, communicate your pain levels with your acupuncturist during your treatment. It is also a good idea to rest after receiving Reflexology. If you enjoy the therapeutic benefits of foot Reflexology, you should know that the benefits are compounded when utilized as a frequent therapy. The more you go, the healthier you feel. So you can relax, rejuvenate, and continue to grow healthier wherever you go. Stimulating the Qi of the surrounding muscle fibers, we can relax the overreacting muscles and relieve them of their unnecessary rigidness, thus resulting in a reduction of pain immediately. With the overreaction gone, the patient only has to deal with the original injury, which can also help recover quickly through appropriate acupuncture and thermal therapy.
