What exactly is modern reflexology?

This is an ancient method of alternative healing based on the principle that there are specific reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that correspond to all the organs, glands and systems in the human body. It is actually a massage on points that correspond to the body's meridians, in order to eliminate toxins and restore energy flow in the body. By applying appropriate pressure to these areas, the therapist stimulates the nervous system, improves circulation and promotes natural healing processes.

What does regular reflexotherapy help with?

This type of therapy does not cure specific diseases per se, but is a powerful tool for restoring balance in the body. It is extremely useful for a number of conditions:

  • Reduce stress and anxietyA: Pressure on the reflex points calms the central nervous system and helps release accumulated tension.
  • Pain reliefA: The method is often used to relieve migraines, back, neck and joint pain, and menstrual cramps.
  • Improve blood circulationA: Stimulation of the limbs promotes better movement of blood and oxygen to all cells.
  • Stimulation of digestionA: Certain points on the feet are directly connected to the stomach and intestines, which helps with bloating or slow metabolism.
  • Improving sleepA: Deep relaxation after a session often leads to healthier and more restful sleep for people suffering from insomnia.

 

Main advantages of the reflexotherapy procedure

There are many reasons why this method is so preferred, and here are the biggest pros:

  • Completely non-invasive methodA: No needles, medications or sophisticated equipment are used. Only the hands of an experienced therapist are needed.

 


  • Absence of side effectsA: When applied correctly, the procedure is completely safe and leaves a feeling of ease.
  • VersatilityA: Suitable for people of all ages - from young children to the elderly.
  • Complementary actionA: It can be successfully combined with standard medical treatment or other therapies such as massage and acupuncture.

Are there any disadvantages and contraindications to reflexology?

Although extremely useful, the practice has its limitations and situations to be avoided:

  • Does not replace traditional medicineA: The method cannot diagnose or treat serious diseases. It is only a supportive therapy.
  • Sting and discomfortA: People with very sensitive feet may experience discomfort or strong tickling, which interferes with relaxation.
  • Contraindications in certain conditionsA: The procedure is not recommended in the presence of deep vein thrombosis, open wounds on the feet, fungal infections, gout or severe forms of osteoporosis.
  • Risks in pregnancyA: In the first trimester of pregnancy, it should only be administered by a highly specialized therapist, as stimulation of certain points can cause contractions.
