Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi everyone, Here's some basic information about healing through reflexology and deep muscle therapy: Reflexology and deep muscle therapy requires kneading and manipulation which increases the circulation of blood, which, of course, carries oxygen and other nutrients to the internal organs and lymph (which cleanses and carries away the cells' wastes). Reflexology and deep muscle therapy can actually increase the strength of weak muscles and is very effective in loosening tight, contracted muscles and in toning weak, flaccid ones. It can also improve muscle flexibility by stretching hardened, connective tissue that hinders free movement and by relieving joint pain and swelling. Because of the therapy's stimulating action, it even increases the secretions and excretions of the glands which, in turn, speed up the body cells' metabolic rate and even enhance the condition of the skin. These forms of therapy are the most effective and in-expensive anti- stress therapies available. Because of its effectiveness in dispersing tension throughout the body it provides a good psychological and emotional effect. When chronic tension is released from deep within the body, poorly functioning organs, muscles and joints begin working properly again, making a person feel relaxed and " free " or " opened up " or even lighter, as though a " load " had been lifted. Regularity of treatment is important because the effects are cumulative. Cheers, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
