The main idea of reflexology is in a belief that a massage of certain spots on the feet and palms causes a reaction in organs that are connected with these spots. All this causes a reduction of pain and healing. Image may be NSFW.

By pressing these spots, we influence sensitive receptors, capillaries, lymph vessels, and deep muscular layers. At a certain moment when the pressure reaches its threshold strength, receptors start sending impulses into the central nervous system. Reinforcing each other, these signals compose one very powerful impulse. The nervous system processes it and sends the signal to other systems of organs. The process of the regulation of their functions is triggered, muscles become relaxed, and the flow of information that is sent to the nervous system is so powerful and wide that it kills ill impulses, replacing them with healthy ones.
How Massage Sessions Go On
Sessions of reflex therapy should be conducted in the evening, after a working day, though there are no time and place restrictions and everything depends only on your own biological rhythms. It is possible to do the massage on your own, but it is much better if it is done by somebody else. It is said that the best reflexology massage Indianapolis, Washington, Freemont, or anywhere else is the one performed by a professional massager.
To start with, feet are rubbed and massaged intensively to improve circulation and then it is possible to start pressing active spots. Reflexology is a sparring technique. There should be no painful feelings at all. If you feel pain, it is necessary to reduce the intensiveness of pressure. If you are massaged by a professional, tell them about your painful feelings at once. Many people think that the stronger they press, the sooner they will be healthy again. On the contrary, pain does not allow them to feel relaxed and relaxation is one of the most important parts of feet massage.
What It Means If It Hurts
There are different points of view on pains caused by acupressure. Some specialists say that pains emerge in spots that are connected to unhealthy organs and systems. Yet, it is not a rule. Through our life, the feet record all the information about things that happen to us, including even emotional crises. It can happen that areas connected with organs are painful even long after these organs recover after ailments. Painful spots can be a sign that some muscles are blocked and overly tense. Too sensitive areas with painful spots should be processed with special attention and for several times. Some acupressure specialists say that pains are gradually gone within one treatment session and do not return.
