A brief medical history form is completed during the first session. Only the shoes and socks are removed, and a short footbath is performed to relax and cleanse the feet. The Reflexologist applies pressure with the thumb, index, and middle fingers using a caterpillar type movement to all of the reflex points on the feet. The hands also have reflex points and these are worked briefly after the foot portion of the session is completed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does reflexology hurt or tickle my feet? Reflexology does not elicit pain or a ticklish response. Instead, the typical response is a feeling of deep relaxation and well being. During the session, however, some reflex points may be tender which indicates that those areas need more attention. When a tender spot is found, the pressure will be adjusted according to the client's tolerance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are the benefits or reflexology?

History Holism as a health concept has existed for ages outside of academic circles, but only relatively recently has the modern medical establishment begun to integrate it into the mainstream health care system. In the United States, the first National Conference on Holistic Health was held with the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine in June 1975. Complementary medicine falls into five general categories as classified by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (a component of the National Institutes of Health): Alternative Medical Systems are those which have evolved over many years in different cultures and parts of the world. Some examples include homeopathic and naturopathic medicines in Western culture and Ayurveda and Chinese traditional medicine in non-Western cultures. Biologically Based Therapies focus on things found in nature such as food, herbs and vitamins, as well as dietary supplements, herbal products and "natural" but scientifically unproven products. Energy Therapies subscribe to the belief that the body has energy fields that can be used to attain wellness. Examples are Tai Chi, Reiki and therapeutic touch. Manipulative and Body-Based Therapies are based on the manipulation and/or movement of one or more parts of the body, such as in chiropractic manipulation or massage therapy, Reflexology. Mind-Body Therapies use the premise that the mind can affect the body's functions and improve symptoms. Some examples are biofeedback, hypnosis, imagery, NDI meditation and yoga. Also included in this category are expressive therapies such as art, dance and music. |
