Registered Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural therapeutic modality based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, and ears, which correspond to every part, gland, and organ of the body. The use of alternating pressure can provide a stimulating effect on the body. Pressure applied to specific areas has the ability to reduce tension and aid in improving circulation.
What to expect during your appointment?
During your appointment, you will be in a relaxing, comfortable position. The practitioner may work either on the feet, hands and ears. Sessions usually last from 75 – 90 minutes. Beginning with the right side, all reflex points on both sides are stimulated as the body is considered to be a whole unit.
Please wear comfortable clothing for your appointment the therapist will need access up to the knees.
What is a cold laser?
The QuantumWave cold laser is a certified medical device approved by Health Canada and the FDA for pain relief, inflammation, arthritis, circulation, and the relaxation of tissue. The lasers have ScalarWave technology built into them, which provides unique features that assist with one’s healing. Cold lasers are also known as low-level or soft lasers. These lasers do not produce heat and therefore are used safely and painlessly.
