Sedentary jobs produce stress without the physical activity to release it. People who sit for long hours frequently complain of undifferentiated stress - stress that has no apparent cause or solution. It sneaks up in the midst of a normal business day, tightening the neck and shoulders, producing headaches and upset stomachs.
Reflexology can ease these tensions and worries. While it will not take away the stimuli at work that cause stress, it will give you an outlet for shaking the adverse effects of stress on the body and the immune system. ​
Reflexology helps people become less irritable and easier to work with. Others quirky habits that normally drive you nuts, become less annoying. You develop a more live-and-let-live like attitude, so that even a ringing phone or the impatience of a co-worker doesn't seem to matter so much. You become more tolerant. ​
Reflexology will relieve the blockages of circulation and energy that occur when you work with shoulders curled over your desk and your head dropped.

One of the great benefits for office workers and executives is the new type of energy that comes immediately after a satisfying reflexology session.

​A different quality of energy replaces the nervous fidgety energy that characterises so much indoor activity. This energy empowers creativity accomplishing more and therefore increasing productivity.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a specialist massage using specific thumb and finger hand techniques applying different amounts of pressure to the feet.

It is based on the theory that the feet are a micro-system of the body and by applying pressure to specific parts of the feet you can have a different effect on the corresponding part of the body.

Reflexology can bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own healing process. Tender, sensitive or crunchy sensations on the feet can indicate that that corresponding area of your body is out of balance.

In the 1890s, British scientists found that nerves connect the skin and internal organs. They also found that the body’s entire nervous system tends to adjust to outside factors, including touch.

How does reflexology work on the body?

There are a number of theories as to how reflexology works but we still don’t know the exact mechanism.

One theory is the nerve impulse theory, the idea that pressing a point on the foot sends a message to the brain and then on to the corresponding part of the body via the nervous system.

Another is that the treatment works by unblocking energy meridians, the same way acupuncture does.

​Also, the relaxing effect of reflexology can ease a lot of pain, discomfort and illness caused by stress.
