Aliyah, Montreal's highest-rated clinic, defines reflexology, or zone therapy, as specific massage techniques applied to pressure points in your feet, hands, and ears as a means of a genuine, integral relationship with the vitality of your global body tissue network system.
These specific pressure points directly correspond to, or connect with, every cellular nuance of the entire human body via the subtle pathways of your synaptic nervous system tissue. This internal network of ‘reflexes’ directly impacts every fibre of your being, including all your internal organs as they literally ‘loop’ back and forth from your brain to your feet, hands and ears.
Reflexology is an ancient, healing art that originated in the Far East and dates back several millennia. It has since spread throughout the globe, in a circuitous manner akin to its own essence.
Our Aliyah Reflexology Therapists are trained to hone in on the reflexive zones through massage, clearing all obstructions to promote healthy body functions.
Triggering your reflexes will help to restore normal function to its corresponding zone.
Further benefits of Aliyah Reflexology include indirect healing for areas too sore to manipulate directly. For example, a bloated abdomen that is too sensitive to direct touch will relax and heal through reflexology triggers mapped in the hands, feet, and ears. Aliyah Reflexology manipulations stimulate indirect activity in the abdominal organs, thus diminishing swelling and bloating in the abdominal structures.
Reflexes have a dual purpose: that of protection and development. They are the fundamental neurological building blocks for motor and cognitive development. These reflexes remain active throughout life and help modulate the influx of the nervous system and the circulation of your blood and lymph. When restricted, these reflexes directly affect all areas of circulation, local tissue metabolism and healthy function.
All physiological structures in the body are interconnected. Our internal chemical balance, or homeostasis, depends on the normal function of each organ within its respective system.
A single disruption can trigger a chain of negative compensations throughout the entire tissue network. Aliyah Reflexology is an incredibly beneficial, non-invasive therapy that supports the body’s natural reflexive, self-regulating mechanisms.
Pressure sensors in the feet, hands, and ears are key components of the body’s reflexive responses. These sensors help initiate both the chemical and neurological "fight or flight" response to danger and the "rest and digest" response. Feet ready to flee and hands ready to defend communicate directly with the body’s internal organs. The sudden adrenal surge that enables a person to lift a car is one dramatic example of this response. Aliyah Reflexology helps refine this reflex network, promoting healthy circulation to these pressure sensors and to the internal organs with which they are inextricably linked.
Biomechanically, the way your foot contacts the ground during gait directly influences how reflexes in the feet travel up the tissue chain to their corresponding neurological centers. Therefore, how we move is vital to maintaining reflexive fluidity throughout the body. Your Aliyah Massage Therapist treats your specific needs while always maintaining an integrated focus on your overall constitution.
