How does reflexology differ from other massage?

Reflexology is not technically a form of massage, although many of the benefits are the same. It’s a separate practice, therefore reflexology practitioners have different training and should be licensed.

Reflexology is a bodywork that applies pressure to the hands and feet. It is a form of therapy, which aims to promote wellness on different  areas of the body.

Reflexology practitioners rely on the reflexes of the feet as well as the hands and to all the internal organs of the human body. Based on the study of reflexology all the organs, glands and parts of the body represent reflexes on the feet.

What’s a reflex zone?

Reflex zone are the specific points on the soles of the feet or palms of the hands that affect certain organs whenever you put a pressure on them. Focusing on the reflex zone will also treat disorders or some disease

You have reflex zones on your feet, hands and ears. The basic philosophy that underlies on the method of applying pressure to reflex zones is that the pressure affects the nerves, which then carry signals to other parts of your body.

How does it benefit your body?

There are countless benefits which proves that reflexology can heal your aching body and mind. Some benefits include relaxation and improved lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. These benefits help release and lessen the effects of stress.

As a bonus, it also helps you to have a faster metabolism which can also help you regulate your weight more effectively. This means you get better results from your exercise regime.

Finding a qualified reflexologist           

You have to do your homework before choosing a reflexologist. Your goal is to find a practitioner who has taken the proper training and is familiar with the right body massage. Reflexologists endorse someone with experience, because it takes a lot of practice to figure out the reflex zone and be aware of energy flow.

Many practitioners do not have specialized or professional knowledge of being reflexologist. They are trained at a massage school, without the in-depth training required for certification in reflexology. You may ask information on how many hours their reflexology training was because most programs only require 110 hours.

Be careful in Abu Dhabi massage deals and make sure that they have licensed reflexologist. At “The Victoria Spa and Salon you’ll be sure that we have qualified practitioners. They know exactly what to do with your aching body.

What is foot massage?

This is a type of body massage focuses on your feet.  This massage can help relax and may relieve muscle aches. Since early history, Chinese traditionally used foot massage to identify and cure all illness. Most forms of foot massage use elements of Shiatsu and Reflexology. This particular kind of massage is also said to have significant meaning in the culture of Native American  where it is understood to treat a variety of ailments.

Beyond the good effects and benefits of good treatment, the purpose go deeper than the skin and muscles. That is why it is a form of deep tissue massage. Foot massage is said to focus on the specific reflex points on the foot that corresponds to organs and areas of the body which induce a healing response.

Some technique includes kneading, pulling on the toes, marking out around the heel and strident  push deep into the arch and within the 7,000 nerves  of your foot. Through intense movements you’ll experience relief during the treatment.

Our feet do a lot of work every day. Unstoppable activities while in  an uncomfortable and restrictive shoe are just some of its burden. Despite all this, they are usually neglected.  A healing foot massage is one way  wherein we can thank our feet and stop just for at least an hour from its hectic activities.

At the Spa  

During  the whole session on one of the best spas in Abu Dhabi , you’re clothed and seated or lying down while your feet undergo a very relaxing experience. You will be asked to take off both your socks and shoes. While the therapists will sit on benches, stools, or the floor while they work on your feet. Some practitioners may ask about your complaints, and use the reflex zones on your feet to help alleviate them.

The therapist will rub, presses on and squeezes reflex zones on your feet. She may concentrate on specific areas to ease some pain. She may  also work on your whole foot with the purpose of strengthening every system in your body.

An effective, a reflexology practitioner or therapist must be certified and understand the high points and peaks related to each pressure point. The whole session typically lasts approximately 30 minutes. It’s important to discuss your complaints with the therapist beforehand in order for her to address the issues properly. Whether it is constipation, a tension headache or trouble sleeping, I personally suggest visiting a “The Victoria Spa and Salon”. It is one of the best spas in Abu Dhabi.
