What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, usually directed at the feet or hands. It is based on the belief that these areas contain "reflex" points that mirror and connect to various parts of the body. By applying pressure to these points, reflexology aims to promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways and improve overall body function.

How Does Reflexology Work?

During a reflexology session, a trained therapist applies pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears. These points are believed to correspond to different body organs and systems. The pressure is intended to remove energy blockages, promote health in the related body area, and induce a healing response in the body. Reflexology can reduce stress and pain by restoring the flow of energy throughout the entire body.

Conditions Treated with Reflexology

Reflexology is used to relieve conditions such as:
- Stress and anxiety
- Headaches and migraines
- Digestive disorders
- Arthritis pain
- Hormonal imbalances

This therapy is suitable for individuals seeking non-invasive and natural treatments to complement other medical treatments or as a standalone therapy.

Benefits of Reflexology

Patients who choose Reflexology at Harbor Medical Clinic and Wellness Center can experience a variety of benefits:
- Stress Reduction: One of the most noticeable effects of reflexology is a deep state of relaxation, which can help reduce stress and its physical consequences.
- Improved Circulation: The massage techniques in reflexology can improve blood circulation in the feet and throughout the body.
- Stimulation of Nerve Function: Reflexology can stimulate more than 7,000 nerves in the feet and encourage the opening and clearing of neural pathways.
- Increased Energy: By stimulating the functioning of different organs and systems, reflexology can increase metabolism and energy creation processes within the body.

What to Expect During Treatment

A typical reflexology session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. You will be seated comfortably in a reclining chair or on a massage table. Shoes and socks are removed, and the therapist will assess the feet and then stimulate various points to identify areas of tenderness or tension. The therapist then uses brisk movements to warm the feet, followed by pressure techniques with the fingers and thumbs.
