You may not realize it but your whole body is connected in different ways. There are points in your body where pressure can be applied to help ease other areas of your body. This technique is known as reflexology and can help ease certain pains that you might struggle with. When you’re dealing with constant headaches, you may not think to massage your feet, but your massage therapists understand the concept and where tension might be stored. Your massage therapists at Personal Spa Massage Center in Mokena, IL, and serving Mokena, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Tinley Park, and surrounding areas, can explain reflexology and how your body is connected in various ways.
Easing Pain Through Reflexology
The idea of reflexology goes back hundreds of years. The thought is that similarly to acupuncture, applying pressure to certain areas of your body can help ease pain and alleviate your discomfort. This can be extremely helpful when you’re dealing with chronic pain or headaches. Your massage therapist serving Mokena and Frankfort, IL, can explain reflexology and how there’s essentially a map of your body on your feet.
Your massage therapist will ask questions about your pain and what symptoms you’ve been experiencing. From there, they can start to massage specific areas on your feet to help relieve your tension and pain. The session can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes, and you may want to come in for weekly sessions. Often, you’ll find yourself feeling rejuvenated after your session and you should start feeling at ease from your pain quickly.
Reflexology can help treat symptoms from issues such as:
- Sinus infections
- Diabetes
- Anxiety
- PMS
- IBS
- Sleep disorders
