Discover Balance and Pleasure With a Self-Care Lifestyle

July 29, 2016 By Heather

happy friends that commit to self-care and a wellness lifestyle

We all know that balancing life can be a challenge. Life can really start to pile up between work, school, chores, and social obligations. Life can really spiral out of control without a moment’s notice. With life pulling you in every direction, who has time for self-care? When you create a daily routine, life’s tasks seem to become more manageable and balanced. A routine can help balance one’s life to fit in time for yourself. Self-care should be a priority, but is put off more often than it should be. How can you be your best for your obligations in life, if you can’t even make time for yourself? Do yourself, your family, and your friends a favor, and build a life routine that allows some you time.

Health is About Balance

Balancing your time is quite helpful in keeping yourself healthy, happy, and stress free. It’s not just about being productive and meeting your obligations. It has been found, in a number of studies, that people who make time for self-care, handle stress better, and meet their goals. Creating self-care balance is different for every one of us, but we all need it. Time dedicated to yourself can be as simple as napping, meditating, talking to a friend, working out, or getting a massage. Really, a number of activities can help balance your life. Life’s balance is about creating a routine for yourself that will give you pleasure, therefore reducing stress.

Reflexology Massage Therapy Benefits

Creating time for yourself, to receive a reflexology massage, can really add a little pep in your step. Who doesn’t like a little extra pep these days?! Now, many of us consider massages to be a luxurious treat for ourselves on special occasions. Truth is, reflexology provides many benefits, which is why adding this time into your routine to maintain optimal health, is more important than you thought. Reflexology is a stress buster, energy boaster, and promotes relaxation, just to name a few benefits. Reflexology massage therapy triggers parts of the brain that improves mood and decreases stress, providing you with a sense of calmness and alertness. This is why we typically choose to get massages on special occasions. If you are like most people, where life deals you a hand of daily high-stress, mixed with a chaotic schedule, taking this self-time weekly or monthly, will really help your body and mind, so you can be at your best for everything life throws at you.

Finding Balance, Boosting Energy, and Improving Your Life

Reflexology therapy is not just a relaxing time to bust stress for a better mood, but for overall balance of a healthy body. Aligning various organs and your muscle system, reflexology helps to increase metabolism and energy. This helps to give you a boost of energy, wiping away that sluggish feeling. Balancing your life’s routine with self-care will improve your overall self that you and your family will notice. Remember, you are only given one mind and body in life, don’t run it ragged, take the time to maintain it like a well-oiled machine.

Our reflexology therapists are trained in relaxation and spa massage techniques that help you eliminate stress and achieve balance of your mind and body. Get your routine started!

Is a reflexology massage safe during pregnancy?

February 22, 2016 By Heather

pregnancy-massage-prenatal-reflexologyAs with almost any alternative therapy, you should consult your practitioner before you begin reflexology massage treatments, and you should be sure that your reflexologist has been properly trained and has experience working with pregnant women. As in the case with prenatal massage, some reflexologists prefer to wait until you are out of your first trimester before they will work on you. Be sure to speak with your practitioner and your reflexologist prior to any treatment. A good reflexologists will not work on you unless they’re sure that they won’t cause you or your baby any harm.

The basic theory behind reflexology is that pressing specific energy points, primarily in the feet, and in the hands, can simulate organs and boost energy flow. The idea is that this pressure allows blocked energy to flow freely, which increases blood flow to the corresponding part of your body.  Reflexologists often work the area between your ankle and heel to stimulate labor and contractions. Unless you’re packed and ready to head for the hospital, make sure that your reflexologist or, for that matter, any massage therapist you might see, avoids stimulating this area for any length of time.  Reflexology is often used to soothe the aches and pains in your back and joints that are taking a beating from your growing belly, and can give you relief from some of your most persistent woes. These may include morning sickness, heartburn, swelling in your legs (if not due to preeclampsia), constipation, high blood pressure (again, as long as it appears without the other symptoms of preeclampsia), insomnia, bladder problems, mild cramping, and even hemorrhoids. In addition, reflexology seems to reduce emotional stresses, such as depression and anxiety. Reflexology may even be helpful after you give birth, some studies have shown it stimulates the production of milk.

There is no evidence that reflexology is unsafe during pregnancy, if it is carried out correctly by a qualified health professional or a qualified reflexologist who is experienced in treating pregnant women. If nothing else, the massage aspect is extremely relaxing, and that’s useful at any point during pregnancy.

Whether you need a spa treatment or relaxing massage, Foot Palace invites you to melt away your pain and stress today!
