Benefits of Reflexology & Deep Tissue Massage
When I started practicing reflexology I found that most people either had a lot of fluid built up in their feet and ankles, or they had a lot of tention in the muscles and the fascia often feels as hard as the plastic of a Tupperware.
It felt wrong to ignore the very real tensions in these soles. Compelled by a need to feel the feet open up and unlock, I accepted that my treatments would become so much more than a 45 minute reflexology treatment.
After a short time, I found people wanted just the massage. Well, I tried that, but it felt like the reflexology sequence was an important key to unlocking the feet. Trying to massage the feet without working the reflexes and unblocking meridians was like trying to move rocks. But the massage moves the muscles like butter after the reflexology sequence.
An added bonus of keeping these two together, is the extra time. 30 minutes is not enough time to fully relax your nervous system. 45 minutes is convenient, but that just gets through the reflexology sequence.
90 minutes of continuous work on your feet and toes helps give sluggish fluids momentum to move out of the feet and legs. And the consistent stimulation of the many thousands of nerves in your feet can really help throughout your body and brain, (especially for those with peripheral Neuropathy, diabetes and those with poor circulation due to smoking or other vessel damage).
By combining reflexology and deep tissue foot massage in one session, you can enjoy the benefits of both modalities.
Two approaches, one session.
A combination of focused muscle work, restoration of chi and balance within the body, to help you feel more at ease as you navigate life. 🦶
