Most professionals who want to get away from the everyday stress of work choose to go to the spa for a body massage. Little do they know that reflexology is a better option, where you don’t only get to relieve your mind from the stress and pressure, you also relieve your body from the soreness and pain you get from working in front of the computer.
Here are the benefits that you can get from undergoing reflexology:
• You get to rest and relax your muscles. They surely are sore from all the walking and running you make to and from work.
• It improves the clarity of your mind.
• It normalizes blood flow.
• It relaxes your entire body – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
The secret of reflexology is finding the right zone that needs to be stimulated. You can do this by determining which part of the body aches, and with the use of the fingers or hands, find which specific zone needs to be massaged with the right pressure.
Here are the possible ailments that can be treated through reflexology through their corresponding nerve zones:
• Headache – If your head feels a little heavy, start off with the nerve zones on your foot. Do a circular rub on your big toe, as it is connected to your head. You can further do the circular rub on the upper half of your toes, then on your fingers.
• Colds and Flu – Focus on the big toe, the middle toe and the tip of your finger. These are the nerve zones that are connected to your lungs, nose, throat and sinus.
• Back Pain – Focus on the spine reflexes, or on your hands, at the side of the thump up to the lower part of your wrist.
• Stress – Focus on the wrist. Using your index finger and your thumb, make a circle and twist it for about twenty times.
Now that you know the basics of reflexology, you don’t have to go to the spa and spend for an expensive body massage. All of these reflexology techniques can be done at home without having to spend a single dollar.
