Reflexology like so many of the harmonizing therapies is not new. It has been around for a long time and was known in ancient Indian, Chinese and Egyptian civilizations. Wall paintings dating from 2330 BC were found in the tomb of Ankhmahor in Egypt. Murals depicted the practical use of aromatherapy, acupuncture and herbalism as well as reflexology; surely if these healing techniques were ineffective they would have been redundant a long time ago!
Chinese doctors were using the reflexes to resolve a diagnosis; reflexology is not used as an analytic gizmo today. However, it is superbly relaxing, generating an overall feeling of well-being which acts as a very effective counter-point to the stress that is all pervasive in the modern busy world! All organs and parts of the body have specific reflex points, which can be established on the hands and the feet.
Rarely, when pressure is applied to a reflex point, the client will yelp in pain. This is a sure sign that something is amiss. A good reflexologist is considerate and gentle and will avoid causing unnecessary discomfort whilst using the feedback to delicately massage the client’s feet and restore the free flow of energy. In the process, toxins are released and congestion dispersed, leaving the client feeling relaxed and revitalized. The Therapist works on the hands and feet by massaging with the thumb in short creeping movements. The idea is to cover all the reflex points in the time available. Special attention is given to any sensitive areas, which are massaged gently until the sensitivity diminishes.
