Reflexology Mississauga

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative holistic practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques with the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a scientific system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet, hands, and ears, with the premise that such work on the feet, hands, and ears causes a physical change to the related areas of the body.

Foot reflexology is a natural healing art based on the knowledge that specific points on the feet, known as reflex points, correspond to different organs, systems, and parts of the body. Applying pressure to these reflex points can positively influence the corresponding areas in the body. This technique promotes relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.

During a foot reflexology session, our trained practitioner will use their hands, fingers, and thumbs to apply pressure to various points on the feet. The pressure is typically applied in a systematic manner, targeting specific zones that relate to different parts of the body. The goal is to stimulate energy flow and promote harmony within the body's systems.

Benefits attributed to foot reflexology include relaxation, stress reduction, improved circulation, pain relief, and enhanced energy flow. It can aid in promoting better sleep, supporting the body's natural healing processes, and improving overall vitality.

Hand reflexology is a complementary therapy that is similar in concept to foot reflexology but focuses on the reflex points located on the hands instead of the feet. By applying pressure to these reflex points on the hands, we aim to promote relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.

During a hand reflexology session, our trained practitioner uses their fingers and thumbs to apply pressure to the reflex points on the hands. The pressure is often applied in a systematic and gentle manner, following a map of reflex zones that are thought to be connected to various areas of the body. Like foot reflexology, the goal is to stimulate energy flow and encourage a sense of harmony within the body's systems.

Auricular Therapy and Ear Reflexology are synonymous terms referring to a therapeutic technique that involves stimulating specific points on the ear. Both methodologies are founded on the concept that the ear, akin to the hands and feet, functions as a microsystem, where the entire body is anatomically represented. In Reflexology nomenclature, this microsystem corresponds to the outer portion of the ear, known as the auricle. It is worth noting that Auricular Therapy constitutes an integral component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Ear Reflexology has evolved as a derivative of Auricular Therapy, both employing varying forms of pressure application to the ear. Extensive research has substantiated the efficacy of Auricular Therapy in addressing a spectrum of issues, encompassing physical and emotional pain, mobility concerns, and allergies.

Ear Reflexology can be seamlessly incorporated into an existing foot reflexology session, or it may be pursued as an independent therapeutic modality.

Facial reflexology, also known as "Facial Reflex Therapy," is a holistic, natural healing art practice that involves stimulating specific points and zones on the face in order to promote relaxation, balance, and well-being throughout the entire body - similar to an Indian head massage. This technique is based on the concept that the face has numerous reflex points that correspond to different organs, systems, and body parts.

Facial reflexology is thought to offer similar benefits to other forms of reflexology, such as stress reduction, relaxation, improved circulation, and potential pain relief. Some proponents also suggest that it can have positive effects on the skin's appearance, as well as on emotional well-being. By encouraging healthy blood flow and lymph flow, it stimulates collagen and elastin to help your skin rejuvenate.
