Reflexology
Restoring balance and vitality
Reflexology is an ancient healing practice with roots tracing back over 2,500 years to early Chinese medicine, where foot massage was used to restore balance and promote health. This therapy shares a close connection with acupuncture, as many key energy points are located on the feet and hands. In traditional Chinese medicine, the energy pathways (meridians) that run through the feet and hands are integral to achieving overall wellness.
The benefits of Reflexology
Over the centuries, reflexology has evolved and is now a well-established therapeutic practice in the West. At Eight Branches, reflexology treatments are grounded in Chinese medicine principles while incorporating the modern Duopody technique.
-
Duopody Reflexology: This approach works on both feet simultaneously, using a detailed anatomical map of the body systems as they correspond to points on the feet. Each session is tailored to address your unique symptoms and promote balance.
-
NEPIP Technique: Focused on the relationship between the brain, endocrine, immune, and nervous systems, this applied reflexology method is particularly beneficial for managing stress-related conditions.
-
CALM Reflexology: A gentle, balancing technique ideal for those seeking relaxation or suitable for individuals receiving palliative care.
