For most of the people, reflexology starts showing benefits immediately once the reflexology professional’s hand starts the foot treatment. However, few experience tiredness, weakness, need to urinate, and so symptoms; that too vanishes in the next session of the reflexology treatment and thereafter they can reap the benefits
Reduce the Stress – When stressed our body become more susceptible to illness and disease (As per American Medical Association, 85% of illnesses are contributed by stress). Reflexology reduces stress, helping the body regain balance and allowing self-healing. Once the reflexology treatment starts, the relaxation begins, which is confirming by EEG brain activity.
Improved blood Circulation – Blood needs to flow freely to the entire body to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells and remove the metabolic wastes and other toxins. Many studies show that reflexology increases blood flow to the feet, brain, kidneys, and intestines, because reflexology relaxes the overall body, including cardiovascular system, and thus it pumps blood naturally and easily.
Stimulates Nerve Function – Reflexology stimulates over 7,000 nerves in the feet and encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. Reflexology interrupts pain pathways and reduces pain.
This gentle treatment therapy may bring relief from a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions. Reflexology has been showing to be effective and assist self-healing in conditions such as: Allergies, Arthritis, Asthma, Back pains, Blood Pressure abnormalities, Bowel disorders, Constipation, Eczema, Frozen Shoulder, Gynecological problems, Insomnia, Knee pains, Muscle tension, Neck strain, PMS/Hormonal imbalance, Respiratory disorders, Sinusitis, Stress disorders, Thyroid problems and many more."
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR FOOT TREATMENT IS RELAXATION OF THE FEET. MOST PEOPLE FIND THE FOOT TREATMENT ALSO MAKES THE ENTIRE BODY FEEL RELAXED. IN ACCORDANCE WITH TEXAS LAW, FOOT REFLEXOLOGY CANNOT BE USED TO DIAGNOSE OR TREAT ANY MEDICAL CONDITION. FOOT REFLEXOLOGY AT BIGFOOT REFLEXOLOGY IS ONLY FOR RELAXATION. ANY MEDICAL CONDITION MUST BE EVALUATED BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR. FOOT REFLEXOLOGY IS NOT MASSAGE THERAPY. THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT TO RECEIVING A FOOT TREATMENT BUT PARENTS MUST MAINTAIN CONTROL OF ANY MINOR VISITING BIGFOOT REFLEXOLOGY AND BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENTLY TO THE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THEIR FEET. WHILE YOUR TREATMENT SHOULD BE FIRM, IT SHOULD NOT BE PAINFUL IN ANY WAY. IF YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN, PLEASE STOP YOUR TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THE PRESSURE ADJUSTED UNTIL IT FEELS FIRM. OUR STAFF GENERALLY DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EACH CLIENT EVALUATE WHETHER FOOT REFLEXOLOGY IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. ANY CLIENT WITH A MEDICAL CONDITION IS ADVISED TO CHECK WITH THEIR MEDICAL DOCTOR PRIOR TO A FOOT TREATMENT. IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THAT WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT CHECK WITH THEIR MEDICAL DOCTOR BEFORE A FOOT TREATMENT. ALSO, PLEASE LET THE STAFF KNOW IN ADVANCE THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT.
