Jennifer Brooker Reflexology: October 2010

What's Reflexology?

"Reflexology is an art and a science.A Reflexologist works the reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that represent the body in minature. There are nerve pathways in each foot that create an electrochemical flow that communicates with the entire nervous system. Each reflex point connects with a specific organ, gland, or body part. Through the application of pressure using specific thumb and finger techniques, reflexology connects with the peripheral nervous system and encourages the body to relax.
Reflexology is not a foot massage, it's a stimulation of nerve pathways. The techniques used in reflexology involve a direct application to the sensory nerves. These nerves carry information to the brain. Motor nerves cary information to the body resulting in a release of essential chemicals that the body utilizes for health and well-being."
