Spinal Reflexology
Spinal Reflexology is a specialized Reflexology therapy offering a focused and powerful treatment.
The spinal cord is a cable that descends from the brain to the lumbrosacral area of the spine. Through 31 pairs of spinal nerves, the spinal cord is connected to the rest of the body through the nervous system and relays information to and from the brain. Nerve roots exit the vertebrae to reach specific organs and muscles. If, for some reason, the nerve roots are compressed this can interfere with neural pathways and cause organs not to function properly. Spinal Reflexology can be a very dynamic therapy system as it taps directly into the Central Nervous System, which connects and controls all of our organs, tissues and hormones. As this technique works directly on the spinal reflexes, it accesses neural pathways and can be a very expedient and effective way of treating all manner of disorders and imbalances by providing a very powerful treatment. It can be particularly helpful in treating persistent conditions.
Spinal Reflexology can help in a number of ways:
-
Promote healing by working on the spinal nerve roots and helping to open up neural pathways
-
Increases blood flow to reduce swelling and chronic inflammation. On the most basic level, Reflexology increases the circulation
-
Help with natural pain relief with regular treatments
-
Access spinal nerve roots to directly treat the cause of the problem or referred pain
Do not be confused by the name, as with regular Reflexology, Spinal Reflexology is also performed on the feet. The spinal element comes from the fact that this treatment focuses on the spinal nerve root reflexes found on the arches of the feet. As with regular Reflexology treatments, in order to give you an holistic and balanced treatment, all of the reflexes will be worked. However, in addition to this, the reflex points of the Spine and Central Nervous System are focused on in order to give potent and targeted treatment to trouble areas, as Spinal Reflexology allows us to treat any organ of the body through the spinal reflexes.
Spinal Reflexology can be a standalone treatment or can be incorporated in to a standard Reflexology where the whole body is treated but certain areas are targeted using Spinal Reflexology.
