Things To Expect On Your Initial Reflexology Session For many, a reflexology session is a new thing. In fact, it should not be surprising to note that there are still some people out there who are clueless about reflexology. But since this form of therapy is here to stay, then it is but proper that a proper understanding of the therapy should happen. Backache caused by high heels and uneven soles can be relieved by pressing the arc or rolling a massager on it. From a quarter of the feet's structure, you can actually help yourself be relieved from additional pain and stress on your upper body parts by applying pressure. Studies have shown that reflexology has no medically proven curative properties, but then, reflexology is not about curing but about providing ease from tension and stress by allowing the blood to circulate properly. And aside from those physical effects of relaxation, it is shown as well that this will increase the person's energy and focus and can also help alleviate pain. Now if you only know how to achieve that relaxation stage, right? The best part is that you can easily get into that relaxation state, and you don't need to actually work on it. It all starts with 'Zone Therapy' If you are going to locate reflexology in western culture, then you will know that the popularity of this form of therapy can be traced at the start of the 1930s. But as far back as the 1913, this form of therapy was already discovered but in a different name. This was first known as the 'Zone Therapy' and it was the American surgeon named William Fitzgerald who first studied these. And the main intent for every session is to relax the person, and at the same time re-establish the normal flow of the energy and the balance within the person. And what the therapist normally does in order to make that happen is to wash the feet and the hands first, and to apply firm pressure on the 'zones' on the feet and those hands. And that the sessions will cover all the points in the feet and the hands. There will be times wherein points in ears will be tackled as well. How does the reflexology treatment starts As with any session associated with reflexology, it will always start with the fingers and the toes. And the practitioner works on the heel then the sides and top will be covered as well.
