ALL FULL-BODY SESSIONS COMBINE BOTH MASSAGE & REFLEXOLOGY 
(UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED)

Reflexology is an art and science. Reflexologists work reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that represent the mirrored image of the body. The nerve pathway in each foot creates an electrochemical flow that communicates to the entire nervous system. Through the application of thumb and finger walking techniques, reflexology connects to the peripheral nervous system and encourages the body to relax. Reflexology is not a foot massage. Massage is palpitation of soft tissue and muscle, whereas reflexology is the stimulation of nerve pathways.

The principle of reflexology is to reduce stress, thus restoring homeostasis, a Greek word meaning “balance.” Some examples are blood sugar levels, body temperature and heart rate.

When homeostasis is maintained, the body is healthy. Our bodies are equipped with self-healing facilities, but these often fail to work properly because vital energy pathways are blocked as a result of degeneration and stress. A trained certified reflexologist destresses the body, therefore accelerating healing of the body and boosting the immune system.

The theory of reflexology is that tension, congestion and possible diseases are mirrored on the feet and hands. Each foot and each hand represents one-half of the body; the reflexes have correlation to every part of the body. Reflexologists do not diagnose specific conditions; but if a particular reflex is tender or if they feel an area of congestion under the skin when pressed, it indicates the corresponding body area is in need of stimulation to boost its natural healing powers.

Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:

• Chronic pain
  
• Limited mobility
  
• Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
  
• Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  
• Postural problems
  
• Ostearthritis pain
  
• Fibromyalgia
  
• Muscle tension or spasm
