Reflexology - Individual private session - $60 hour
In Reflexology the foot is seen as a microcosm of the entire body. Each foot contains 7200 nerve endings that relate to each part of the body. By stimulating these nerve endings a healing reaction can be created in the corresponding part of the body. Treatments are very relaxing and will leave you with a wonderful sense of "well being".

Foot Joint Mobilization is a unique treatment that focuses on Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation of the lower leg and foot. (This is a type of muscular re-education that helps to relax the muscles, tendons and ligaments). Once the muscles are relaxed specific movements are performed that are designed to help realign any misplaced bones. This treatment may also include Cold Laser treatment if there is a recent injury or long standing issue that has had trouble resolving.
