Benefits Of Bodywork

REFLEXOLOGY

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflext areasin the feet and hands which correspondto all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage. 

Is Reflexology New?
The idea behind Reflexology is not new - in fact, it was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, the pioneer in this field. Her book on the subject was published in 1938. And since 1942, Reflexology workshops have been conducted year round. 

What Does Reflexology Do? 
The Ingham Method of Reflexology is used primarily for relaxing tenstion. Doctors agree that over 75% of our health problemscan be linked to nervous stress and tension. Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply, and helps nature to normalize.

ZERO BALANCING

What is Zero Balancing? 
Zero Balancing (ZB) is a hands-on body-mind system of therapy that balances the relationship of energy and structure within the bones and tissues of the body. ZB uses energy movement to integrate Western medical science with Eastern energy healing traditions into an original, practical and coherent bodywork skill. Based on the principles of nature, ZB promotes internal balance and harmony through the use of informed, skilled touch. Many people initially seek Zero Balancing to relieve symptoms but continue receiving sessions as their quality of life improves. 

How might you benefit from Zero Balancing? 
Zero Balancing is a primary health maintenance system. Regular Zero Balancing releases stress and tensions within the body and mind, relieves symptoms caused by energentic or strutural imbalance, and encourages integration and stabilization. Alighning energy with structure enhances the body's natural healing processes and supports optimum health. ZB works in conjunction with medial terapy and is not a substitute for it. 

MESSAGE THERAPY 

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

  • Decreased anxiety.
  • Enhanced sleep quality.
  • Greater energy.
  • Improved concentration.
  • Increased circulation.
  • Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
  • Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
  • Ease medication dependence.
  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
  • Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
  • Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
  • Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
  • Increase joint flexibility.
  • Lessen depression and anxiety.
  • Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
  • Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
  • Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
  • Reduce spasms and cramping.
  • Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
  • Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
  • Relieve migraine pain.
