Ways Foot Reflexology and Hand Reflexology Can Help You

A holistic healing method like no other, foot reflexology massage involves the application of massage and pressure to reflex points and areas on the hands, feet, and ears.

Now, let us dive deep into the various benefits of foot reflexology in Exeter massage :-

(A) Pain management :

Foot reflexology massage can help you manage pain- both acute and chronic. The method may significantly lower your pain by stimulating endorphins release- natural painkillers produced by the body.

Reflexology may as well reduce inflammation, which is often connected to pain. You can gain a lot of help with pain associated with conditions like headaches, back pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and cancer.

(B) Stress and relaxation :

This is one of the major benefits of reflexology. It can help you achieve relaxation while managing your stress. This is achieved through the application of pressure to particular points on the feet that correspond to different systems and organs in the body.

Reflexology helps by increasing the circulation of blood through the body, which helps lower stress levels and anxiety, and keeps the blood pressure in check. When you feel less anxious and less stressed, it automatically translates to you feeling relaxed.

(C) Digestion :

See an improvement in your digestion as reflexology stimulates the reflex points that correspond to your digestive system.

Reflexology can help you with bloating, gas, constipation, indigestion, and nausea by improving peristalsis- the movement of food via your intestines. By stimulating the kidneys and liver, the therapy may as well help you with detoxification.

(D) Better sleep :

This is another key benefit associated with foot reflexology. You’ll notice a stark improvement in the quantity and quality of your sleep. This happens due to the lower stress levels and relaxation that reflexology promotes.

Those with insomnia can benefit immensely from this method. It may as well help someone with sleep apnea by activating the reflex points that correspond to the respiratory system.

(E) Eyestrain :

Individuals with dryness, eye fatigue, irritation, headaches, and blurred vision can gain immensely from this therapy. These eye conditions are quite common in today’s day and age due to prolonged screen time.

The method works by stimulating the reflex points that correspond to one’s eyes. The therapy may also enhance your vision and eye health by improving blood flow to the eyes.

Post your session, you’ll feel refreshed, relaxed, or energised. You’ll likely start seeing more significant changes in your body such as reduced pain, improved digestion, or better sleep. These effects will last for a few days or hours, which heavily relies on your condition and lifestyle.

Now, let us get into the benefits of hand reflexology Exeter massage.

Hand reflexology massage is usually very safe and beneficial for most people. It can help you in the following ways :-

(1) Released tension :

The therapy relaxes the nerves and muscles in the hands and all through the body. It also can be instrumental in reducing stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which can lead to pain and inflammation.

Improved blood flow: Hand reflexology stimulates blood circulation and delivery of oxygen to the organs and tissues. This helps to nourish the cells while eliminating toxins and waste products.

Enhanced immune system: By stimulating the lymphatic system, hand reflexology therapy can improve the natural defense mechanism of the body, which is responsible for fighting diseases and infections. It also helps the hormonal system strike a balance, which regulates different functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

(2) Pain relief :

Hand reflexology can help to ease pain brought about by conditions like migraine, arthritis, menstrual cramps, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. It can also help lower your dependence on painkillers or other medications.

(3) Improved mood and well-being :

Hand reflexology can help to mitigate signs of depression, anxiety, frustration, and anger. It can also give a boost to your self-esteem and motivation. Also, notice an improvement in your memory, concentration, and creativity.

Say goodbye to sinus problems: The therapy can help to relieve inflammation, congestion and pain in the sinuses. It may as well keep you from or lower the frequency of headaches, sinus infections, and allergies.
