Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related.  Nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. To slow this aging process down, we need RELAXATION. 

Relaxation through REFLEXOLOGY may help the body to balance any kind of stress it is experiencing and activating the healing powers of the body.

Reflexology may help to improve your overall health and wellness and to improve the quality of life.

Research shows that Reflexology triggers the return of the body to homeostasis, after a trauma or injury, and gets used worldwide as a therapeutic use.

Many people use Reflexology as preventive care, to help the body restore or maintain its natural state of homeostasis.

Reflexology is not massage.

RAA’s Definition of Reflexology

Reflexology is a protocol of manual techniques, such as thumb and finger-walking, hook and backup and rotating-on-a-point, applied to specific reflex areas predominantly on the feet and hands. These techniques stimulate the complex neural pathways linking body systems, supporting the body’s efforts to function optimally.

The effectiveness of reflexology is recognized worldwide by various national health institutions and the public at large as a distinct complementary practice within the holistic health field. (RAA 2016)

REFLEXOLOGY is not practice medicine, does not diagnose or treat for a specific illness, does not prescribe or adjust medication. Reflexology is not a substitute for medical treatment.

If you are experiencing any specific medical problem and have not seen your medical doctor, I recommend you to do so today.
