Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet. Pressing on the different points in the hands and feet causes reflex responses in corresponding parts of the body. Reflexology is based on the idea that the glands, organs, and parts of the body are reflected in specific reflex areas on the hands, feet, and ears. Applying pressure to these specific points can reduce pain and anxiety and promote circulation, relaxation, and healing in the body. Reflexology is reported to be effective in reducing tension and stress throughout the body by initiating the relaxation response. It also is effective at improving nerve and blood supply throughout the body by facilitating the functioning of the nervous and circulatory systems.

Reflexology also helps the body to normalize by promoting balance and a state of harmony between the body, mind, and emotions. It is also beneficial for issues relating to reproduction and fertility, digestion, anxiety, and insomnia.

Therapeutic Hot Stone Massage uses a combination of warmed stones and massage techniques to relax tense muscles, relieve pain and stiffness, and improve circulation. Our stones used in this treatment are typically made of basalt, due to their ability to retain heat. To help our clients to reap the greatest benefit from the experience, our experienced therapist not only combine the warm stones with a Swedish massage or deep tissue massage techniques but also the acupuncture meridian knowledge as well. By placing the warmed stones over acupressure points can help release the flow of energy and promote the body’s own healing process. The treatment can be used for ailments like muscular aches, arthritic conditions, and autoimmune disorders. The heat of the stones penetrates the skin to promote better blood flow, release toxins and create a deeper muscle relaxation than in a standard massage.
