Stress - Fight or Flight

Many times our bodies enter into "fight or flight" mode.  Sometimes it happens several times a day, and we may not be aware of it.  Constantly moving into and out of fight or flight takes its toll on our physical and emotional well being.  We spend a large amount of time on our feet.  Hence, our feet have evolved into sensory organs.  Gravity also plays a big part in how our feet react to the physical and emotional stresses we encounter each day.  These direct and indirect stressors have a tremendous effect on all the systems of the body.  We can use Reflexology as an organized and structured approach to help bring the body back into balance -- homeostasis.

Primary Benefits of Reflexology

If the overall goal of Reflexology is to bring the body back to homeostasis, that is balance the system, then it would make sense that the primary benefit of Reflexology is to reduce stress.  Because it works through the nervous system it deeply relaxes the client and helps improve nerve function.  Additionally, Reflexology improves circulation, cleanses impurities, and revitalizes energy.  Reflexology is a great tool for preventative health care.
