Reflexology is a one-on-one, non-invasive, hands-on technique using gentle to moderate finger pressure to stimulate reflex points on the feet. The reflex points correspond to organs, glands and various parts of the body. Techniques include finger walking, thumb walking, sliding, and rotating and pivoting on reflex points. Stimulation of the reflex points is said to help self-regulate the body and encourage the body to move towards balance and better function.
By reducing stress and facilitating more efficient functioning Reflexology encourages and supports the body’s self-healing capabilities.
A Reflexology session assists individuals of any age to experience greater relaxation throughout their entire body. When the body is in a relaxed state, the natural healing processes can function more efficiently, which can facilitate a return to greater health.
Lymphatic massage is a specialized, gentle massage that uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to move lymph fluid and remove waste from the body.
A therapist uses light pressure and specific techniques, such as stationary circles and gentle pumping motions, to guide lymph fluid from tissues to the lymph nodes. This encourages the lymphatic vessels to drain, which helps clear blockages and allows the body to filter out toxins.
The massage involves very light, skin-stretching movements, and the pressure is so gentle you should not feel the muscles underneath.
It is different from a traditional deep-tissue massage and is specifically focused on the lymphatic vessels.
Techniques include gentle circular motions, pumping, and sweeping strokes to encourage lymph flow.
