Here's a few fun facts about Reflexology!
- It is also known as zone therapy. It is believed that the body is divided into 10 zones with 5 on each side of the body. Reflexology is one of the oldest forms of natural treatment and based on the application of pressure.
- It was introduced by an E.N.T. doctor, Dr William H Fitzgerald in 1915.
- It is different than a foot massage. Reflexology is applying certain pressure on specific points that correspond to an organ of body part to promote healing.
- It is a complementary therapy for the body. It looks at the body as a whole, not just specific symptoms of a disease. It is said to promote balance, increase blood and lymphatic flow to bring oxygen and nutrients to the cells, and to help with reducing stress and promote relaxation.
- Reflexology sessions last about 45-60 minutes
- Your feet mirror your general health.
- Each foot contains 26 bones, which is 1/4 of the bones in your body.
- We have 26 vertebrae in our spine, which is the same number of bones in our feet.
- There are also 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and tendons in each foot, and over 7000 nerve endings in your feet.
If Reflexology interests you in any way, I encourage you to come out and chat with Misty and see how it's done. Hope to see you there. It's going to be a fun morning.
