Reflexology recipients report a state of deep relaxation and lasting relief from pain and discomfort.  Reflexology is popular as a stand alone service or added to massage, body contouring & facial rejuvenation, and energy work of any kind.  Friends, families and couples find reflexology a relaxing and health-building experience that is rewarding and fun to both give and receive.

Reflexology is frequently the “complementary therapy of choice” in cancer treatment, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and hospice settings.  A decrease in depression and anxiety along with improvements in spirituality and emotional quality of life and an overall, improved quality of life are benefits of reflexology.

Reflexology Hands builds on the information from Reflexology Feet and gives the practitioner another way of bringing the benefits of reflexology to recipients.  The repetitive hand movements we all make everyday add up to stress in our hands and bodies.  Think of your daily routine and how much you take your hands for granted.  If you drive, hold a mouse and type, play a musical instrument, massage, write, chop, peel, knit, sew or use the telephone, your hands are engaging in repetitive movements that affect not only your hands, but your arms, elbows, shoulders, back, neck and eventually your entire body.
