Reflexology is a service we introduced in the spa as it has immense health benefits and promotes a more holistic, balanced way of living.
What is Reflexology? Reflexology is an alternative treatment for a variety of conditions and has been used for thousands of years. According to the Ontario College of Reflexology (OCR), reflexology is “a focused pressure technique, usually directed at the feet or hands”. Based on the idea that there are “zones” or “reflexes” on the hand or foot that correspond to different parts, glands, and organs in the body.
How does reflexology work? When reflexes are stimulated, the body’s natural energy works alongside the nervous system to clear any blockages that may be manifesting in certain zones. Any of these blockages might interfere with the body’s natural energy flow and reflexology helps to restore the flow, back to a state of “homeostasis” or “balance”.
