Reflexology is restorative for all forms of physical, mental and emotional stress. Whether you have sleep issues, circulation problems, nervous tension, digestive problems, foot disorders, body ache or a major disease or just want some help relaxing and feeling more contentment, reflexology can help. Through gentle but firm pressure techniques reflexology works powerfully with your nervous system as well as the muscles and tissues throughout the body to help transport nutrients to the cells. By doing that it opens the energy to blocked areas and restores homeostasis, the body natural and inherent intelligence to balance itself. The dictionary defines the word reflex as "an involuntary muscle contraction due to an external stimulus.” In the context of reflexology, it is used in the sense of reflection, or mirror image. Through stimulation of the circulatory and lymphatic systems and by encouraging the release of toxins, a session at Greenlake Reflex Center will help the body heal itself.
