Reflexology is the ancient art of foot massage which originated in China and which was also known to the Ancient Egyptians. Energy runs through the body in channels known as meridians and massage of the feet stimulates these energy channels, promoting healing and relaxation.
Every part of the foot corresponds to an area of the body, and massage of the feet stimulates the corresponding part of the body. We provide reflexology massages in Sarasota, Florida along with many other skin care and massage services.
The main effect of reflexology massage is that of stress reduction. The techniques of reflexology include finger or thumb walking–where the reflexologist walks the finger or thumb over different areas of the feet in a set sequence–and massage and kneading of the foot using the whole hand. The experience is generally firm, but gentle, and should never cause discomfort or pain.
