Experience A Massage To Let Your Energy Flow

Most massages will focus on the many muscle groups of the body in an attempt to relax them, but a reflexology massage is more concerned with the internal workings of the body based on pressure points being triggered.

Based on Chinese medicine and the concept of Chi, an energy that flows in and around the body, a reflexology massage will work on areas like the hands, feet and face to unblock energy flows which affect the internal organs. It’s aim is to restore internal balances back to their natural function, as well as relieving stress and pain.

Enjoy A Relaxing Reflexology Massage

If you are looking for a full body deep tissue massage where your muscles are manipulated, then reflexology isn’t for you. Reflexologists are specially trained massage therapists who have studied the discipline extensively and can apply that knowledge to your body in a variety of ways. Reflexology usually takes place on the feet and hands, however it is not uncommon for this kind of massage to be done on the face, scalp or ears as there are hundreds of points all over your body that a reflexologist can focus on to bring healing and relaxation.

Pressure will be placed on specific regions of the body to unblock flows of energy within the body to bring about a harmony, as it is believed that these are connected on a metaphysical level to the joints, muscles, tendons and organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. Unlike a traditional massage, reflexologists don’t usually use lots of scented lotions and oils, as the pressure needs to be applied to exact points on the hands and feet without slipping.

Reflexology Techniques

Even though you aren’t receiving firm strokes on your back, legs and arms like a traditional massage, there is something pleasant about a reflexology massage that still leaves you feeling calm and holistically healed. The reflex points on the body, where the massage takes its name from, have gentle to firm pressure applied to them as they are thought to trigger pathways of energy in the body to bring healing whether it’s an ongoing problem or a novel ailment.

On your feet you can expect the reflexologist to pull and bend the toes, press deep into the ball and arch of the feet, as well as giving the heel and ankle area a full manipulation like you’ve never experienced before. You would be mistaken for thinking that only the foot will feel better after such a massage, but customers report that they feel great in their whole body from just focusing on this one area to relieve tension.

When you opt for a hand reflexology massage you can expect the same level of care and attention to the whole of your hand. The palm will have pressure applied to various parts according to the area of the body you’re aiming to invigorate, and the different parts of your fingers and thumb are also manipulated to bring about a feeling of overall relaxation.
