What
is Facial Reflexology?
TThis
form of massage is based on the ancient art of Oriental
pressure therapy and zone therapy, and is a form of
reflexology. This massage deals with the principle that
there are reflex areas that correspond to the glands,
organs and systems of the body and uses a unique method
of touch on these relexes with the fingers and thumbs.
Zone therapy takes into account the theory that the
body has connection pathways or channels where the energy
(chi) flow in lines in the body to supply all the organs,
tissues and the mind, linking them together. Excessive
stress disrupts this balance so that the body systems
are affected in different ways and to varying degrees.
What to expect at a massage session
A firm massage on the reflex points will help to free
deposits enabling energy to flow freely again through
the body. This also helps to stimulate muscles and tissues
allowing adequate supply of blood, oxygen and protein
to reach the face. Treatment includes face cleanse and
lymphatic drainage massage with oil.
