Reflexology
With specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology causes relaxation responses in corresponding parts of the body.
Foot reflexology is the practice of working reflexes in the feet that correspond to other parts of the body. Relaxation is the first step to the body’s return to a state of homeostasis (balance), in which circulation can flow, unimpeded to supply nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
One’s state of health depends on this ability to rebound to homeostasis after a trauma or injury (i.e., injury, disease, stress). So we can say it is the very purpose of reflexology to trigger this return. Since stress and disease are ongoing facts of life for most of us, reflexology, in addition to its therapeutic uses, can serve as a preventative program. It enables each individual, on a daily basis, to help his or her body restore and maintain its natural state of homeostasis.
The reflexes in the feet are actually “reflections” of body parts. Their locations and relationships to each other on the feet follow a logical anatomical pattern which closely resembles that of the body itself. The premise of how the reflexes of the feet correspond to the anatomy of the whole body is simple: the actual physical image of the body is projected onto them.
The feet are a part of the body’s overall response to stress. Reflex areas reflect the overall dynamic state of tension that exists between all body parts. Observable cues such as puffiness indicate that stress has occurred and the body is adapting to it. The individual’s foot reflex areas reflect the individual’s overall state of tension that has resulted from a lifetime of adaptation to stress. Reflexologist observes the cues of stress on the foot and applies pressure techniques to relax the indicated stresses. The goal of the reflexologist is to create a relaxation response keyed to the individual stress.
