applies pressure to specific points in your hands and feet
Reflexology in Langley BC

Reflexology is a type of therapy that works on the idea that certain points on the feet, hands, and ears are connected to different organs and systems in the body. Reflexologists try to help people heal, balance their energy, and feel better overall by putting pressure on these reflex points.

Principles and Techniques

  1. Reflex Points: Reflexology is based on the belief that the feet, hands, and ears are mapped with points that correspond to all body parts and systems, such as the digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems.

  2. Zone Theory: The body is divided into ten vertical zones, and each zone corresponds to specific reflex points on the feet and hands. Applying pressure to these points can affect the corresponding areas of the body.

  3. Pressure Techniques: Practitioners use their fingers, thumbs, and knuckles to apply varying pressure to specific reflex points.

  4. Holistic Approach: Reflexology is considered a holistic therapy, addressing physical, emotional, and mental aspects to promote overall health.

  2. Preparation: You will remain fully clothed but remove shoes and socks. You will sit or lie comfortably during the session.

  3. Treatment Session: The therapist will apply pressure to specific reflex points on your feet, hands, or ears using their fingers, thumbs, and knuckles. The session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.

  4. Sensations: You may experience various sensations, such as warmth, tingling, or tenderness, at certain points, which are believed to indicate energy blockages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Registered Massage Therapy?

RMT involves the manipulation of soft tissues in order to improve a person’s overall health and well-being. It is a regulated healthcare profession, which means that RMTs have undergone extensive training and education to provide high-quality care to their clients. With the use of various techniques such as kneading, stroking, and stretching, RMTs are able to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Whether you are dealing with muscle tension, sports injuries, or chronic pain, RMT is a fantastic option to consider.

How does RMT differ from other massage therapies?

RMT, or registered massage therapy, is an incredible form of massage therapy that sets itself apart from other methods. What makes RMT so unique is the fact that it requires practitioners to undergo extensive training and education, ensuring that they are highly skilled in their practice. Unlike other massage therapies, RMT focuses on assessing and treating specific conditions and injuries, rather than just providing relaxation. This means that RMT is not only a fantastic way to de-stress and unwind, but it also has the potential to alleviate chronic pain and promote healing. So if you’re looking for massage therapy that goes above and beyond, RMT is definitely the way to go!

With RMT treatments, you can say goodbye to those persistent knots and tightness in your muscles. The skilled hands of a registered massage therapist work wonders at releasing tension and promoting relaxation. Not only does it feel amazing, but it also improves blood circulation, which in turn helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. RMT treatments are not just a luxury; they are a necessity for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being and live a pain-free life.
