Reflexology

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy that uses pressure points on the feet or hands to stimulate the body’s own healing response. It’s known to reduce stress, improve circulation, and support overall wellness.

How does reflexology work with the body’s energy or meridians?

Reflexology is based on the idea that the body contains energy pathways, often referred to as meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. These meridians run through the body and are connected to specific organs and systems. By applying pressure to reflex points on the hands or feet, reflexology helps stimulate the flow of energy along these pathways. This can help clear blockages, restore balance, and support the body’s natural healing process. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the concept of meridians, many people report feeling more relaxed, energized, and centered after a session.

Can reflexology help with specific health concerns?

While reflexology isn’t a replacement for medical care, many people find it helpful for managing stress, headaches, fatigue, digestive discomfort, and more. It’s a great complement to your overall wellness routine.

Does reflexology hurt?

Reflexology should never be painful. You may feel slight tenderness in certain areas, but Ernie always works within your comfort level and can adjust pressure as needed.

What’s the difference between hand and foot reflexology?
Both techniques follow the same principle—stimulating reflex points to support body systems. Foot reflexology is often used for grounding and full-body relaxation, while hand reflexology is a great option for those with foot sensitivity, mobility issues, or conditions like arthritis or repetitive strain.

Which should I choose—hands or feet?
It’s entirely up to you! Some clients prefer one area, while others enjoy a combination. Ernie is happy to talk through what you’re looking for and recommend what might feel best.
