Stress is the Result of How the Mind & Body React to a Situation
Reflexology can train the mind and body to better handle the situations they encounter.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural healing method based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map neurologically to every part, gland and organ of the body.
With over 7,200 nerve endings in each of our feet that directly link to the spinal cord and brain, this non-invasive, holistic therapy is extremely effective in combating stress, boosting the immune system, and stimulating the natural healing processes in the body.
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance” and vital body systems can be blocked, preventing the body from functioning optimally. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance and facilitate healing. For each person, the application and the effect of the therapy are unique. The Sole Point’s trained Reflexology Therapists can detect tiny deposits and imbalances, and by working on these points the blockages can be released bringing the body into balance.
Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available.
