Hand and Feet Reflexology
The Advanced Hand and Foot Reflexology Energizer is not just another foot and leg massager.
Hand and Feet Reflexology
The Advanced Hand and Foot Reflexology Energizer is not just another foot and leg massager. The technology was introduced to the USA in 2000 and utilizes low frequency electrical stimulation via acupressure points in the hands and soles of the feet to provide serious relief from pain, tension, soreness and muscle spasms. When there is pain in the body there is an interruption of electrical flow between cells.
The Electro Reflexology Energizer is an instrument that helps reconnect broken or damaged electrical circuits within the body by stimulating it with the correct wave form, current, and frequency. When there is pain in the body there is electrical resistance, meaning the electrical signals between cells are suppressed. Our Piedmont Wellness Club members through consistent use can help restore the flow of electricity through the painful area so that circuits remain turned on and restoration can be promoted.
Reflexology is a form of therapy based on the scientific principle that these reflex areas correspond to all the glands, organs, systems, and parts of the body. The whole body can be affected positively by reflexology treatments, clearing energy pathways and creating a greater sense of wellbeing.
The benefits of reflexology include, but are not limited to, relieving stress and tension, improving blood supply and promoting the unblocking of nerve impulses, which in turn alleviates pain and allows the body to achieve homeostasis naturally.
Being in homeostasis means it is far easier for the body to heal and remain in good health. By stimulating acupressure points in the soles of the feet (or palms of the hands,) this Advanced Electro Reflexology Energizer provides relief from pain, tension, soreness, and muscle spasms.
Benefits of Hand Reflexology
It is important to note that hand reflexology is not a cure but a modality of touch therapy to complement traditional medical treatments. Reflexology aims to relieve stress as prolonged exposure to stress causes the body to lower its immune defenses. By lowering stress the body is able to repair environmental damage and defend itself against illnesses.
It is common knowledge that basic foot and hand massage promotes the circulation of your blood while loosening tense muscle tissues. Since ancient times in China, it has been believed that the bottoms of the feet and hands can be divided into 25 parts. Each part represents different glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is the art or science of reprogramming the atoms, cells, and electrons of the body to their original state through the triggering of these signal points on the foot or hand (Zone Theory). Reflexology offers a unique method of massage and benefits.
Here are some more general benefits that cover physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
- Reduces pain, which is a stressor that indicates an underlying health concern
- Creates a feeling of wellness and improves the mood
- Promotes relaxation enabling the body to lower stress and manage it to not affect the body negatively
- Stimulates the release of the body’s happy hormones – serotonin for sleep, endorphins for pain, dopamine for alertness, and oxytocin for comfort
- Keeps the body flexible and increases the range of movement
- Improves the overall circulation of the blood leading to greater oxygen and nutrient supply to the body
- Increases detoxification of the body which improves organ and gland function
- Supports the recovery process of injuries to the hands and feet
Benefits of Foot Reflexology
The most used, abused, and neglected part of the body is our feet. Many of us spend long hours on our feet every day. Whether you work in a factory, an office, a field, a hospital, or anything in between, you put a lot of weight and pressure on your feet daily. They are always in motion and over time can make us miserable with annoying pain and discomfort. Electro foot reflexology helps relieve stress and built-up tension. Adding this to your personal health and wellness plan will advance your efforts to live a healthier and less stressed lifestyle.
Encourages
Relaxation
Reflexology can flood the neural pathways with relaxation, inducing a state of peace and tranquility within the body and mind. This physiological change results in the reduction of stress.
Revitalizes
Nerve Function
Nerve endings lose sensitivity in parts of our body as we age (more so in the extremities). Reflexology has been associated with the stimulation of more than 7,000 different nerve endings during a 1-hour session, naturally increasing nerve functioning and reactivity.
Promotes Nervous System Stimulation
Open neural pathways benefit our central nervous system in a variety of ways. The brain is able to handle inputs more effectively, essentially speeding up cognitive strengths; thus, increasing the speed of physical reactions, which boosts your memory. Overall, the entire brain is able to work faster and more efficiently.
Improves
Circulation
Probably the most well-known and verified results of foot reflexology is an improvement in circulation throughout the entire body, which means blood and oxygen are being cycled throughout the body more effectively. Due to this benefit, oxygen reaches vital organ systems, optimizing their function and increasing the metabolism.
Relieves Plantar
Fasciitis Pain
Foot reflexology can help ease the pain and discomfort caused by plantar fasciitis. Reflexology is beneficial as it uses pressure point techniques to release tension, relieving the heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis
Fights Anxiety
and Depression
Serotonin, a hormone released by neurons in the brain, promotes happiness. Low levels of this hormone may result in bad mood and depression. Stimulating reflex points in the toes can enhance the production of serotonin. The adrenal, hypothalamic, pineal and pituitary glands also play a role in emotions, including depression. It is also effective in alleviating anxiety and stress.
Makes Your Feet and
Healthier and Happier
You can keep your feet healthier with foot reflexology. It stimulates the muscles, reduces pain in the ankles and heels, and alleviates stiffness. This is one of the easiest ways to keep your feet free from all types of foot problems, such as Achilles’s tendonitis, plantar fasciitis
Makes Your Feet and
Healthier and Happier
Excessive processed foods, additives and pollution increases the levels of toxins in our bodies and impedes the proper functions of vital organs resulting in aches, fever, pains, and fatigue. One of the best ways to eliminate toxins from the body is reflexology.
Variable Reflexology Modes
By stimulating acupressure points in the soles of the feet (or palms of the hands,) the Advanced Electro Reflexology Energizer session provides relief from pain, tension, soreness, and muscle spasms. There are three different modes that stimulate key reflex points, which promote the circulation of blood while loosening tense muscles, thereby releasing foot soreness, sciatic pain, swelling, aches, stiffness, and even arthritic hip pain.
Mode 1
aids in toxin removal. It targets muscles in the bottom central region of the feet and inner calf muscles.
Mode 2
is for relax and restoration. It stimulates muscles on top of the feet, in the outer calves and in the ankles.
Mode 3
is for massaging. It sends a pattern of impulses combining tapping, “pins and needles” (pleasantly so), and squeezing (like stretching after exercise) to fully relax the muscles upon completion of the therapy.
Mode 4
The Auto Mode runs through all three modes working all areas of your feet, legs, hands and arms
