Achieve Optimal Wellness with Rumination Mind Body & Spirit

 Reflexology is a practice that involves stimulating certain areas of the feet and sometimes hands and/or ears. The theory behind this is that areas on the feet and hands correlate with areas and organs of the body. 

Reflexology is also known as zone therapy, is an complementary therapy used to treat a variety of medical conditions by applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears. 

 These include relaxation and stress reduction, improved circulation, pain relief, and enhanced overall well-being. Reflexology may also aid in relieving symptoms associated with conditions such as headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, and hormonal imbalances. Furthermore, proponents suggest that reflexology can stimulate the body's natural healing processes and support the immune system. 

 During a reflexology session you can expect the following: 

1. Consultation: The session begins with a consultation to discuss your health history and concerns.
2. Relaxing Environment: Creating a calm and relaxing environment is essential.
3. A gentle Relaxation massage with foot assessment:  This includes a visual and physical assessment of your foot, hand or ear.
4. Treatment of any conditions found by application of Pressure: The reflexologist will apply pressure to specific reflex points on your feet, hands, or ears.
5. Feedback and Communication: You can provide feedback during the session.
6. Post-Session Effects: Most people find reflexology relaxing and calming.

 Over the next 24 hours following your treatment, make sure to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. This can help improve your energy levels whilst flushing out toxins. Try to avoid any strenuous exercise, and rest for at least two hours after your treatment.
