More than 90% of all illnesses and disease is believed to be stress-related, and because reflexology encourages the body to relax, many functions benefit.
Tension tightens spinal muscles, resulting in pain and restriction of energy flow in the whole body. Reflexology works on this nervous system tension to increase energy flow.
Blood vessels also relax during Reflexology, reducing vascular constriction and allowing circulation to flow freely.
Increased circulation moves the necessary oxygen and nutrients to all body tissues and organs, which then release toxins from the body.
HISTORY OF REFLEXOLOGY
Modern refloxology was developed by Dr. William Fitzgerald in 1917.
In 1917, Dr. William Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat specialist and author of Zone Therapy, divided the body into 10 equal longitudinal zones, with five zones on each side of the body. The head has ten zones and they run down to each finger and toe. Dr. Fitzgerald discovered that if he put pressure on the tips of each finger with clamps or elastic bands around the top of each finger, this pressure would have an anesthetic affect on the nerves of the corresponding body part. An organ or gland found in a specific zone mapped to its reflex in the corresponding zone of the foot. Take a look at the foot map to the left for more information.

Reflexology Client
"I started reflexology in response to a cranky gall bladder; three years later I do not have any symptoms and continue regular sessions as a part of my preventative health routine. I recommend Barbarah to my own clients and promote reflexology to my colleagues in the hospital where I work as an alternative to opioids for pain relief. It's an excellent holistic value for the money and time!"
