Reduce Stress - Massage Chair Recliners Give Reflexology
The pressures of life
seem to be constant, yet the relief of such pressures is so erratic.
There are simple and effective means to reduce stress and anxiety. For
example, getting a foot reflexology massage can effectively help you
relax. Besides just feeling great, a reflexology foot massage can
relieve headaches, pain in your back and anxiety. The best massage
chairs perform foot reflexology massages right in the comfort of home.
Get relief from stress while feeling good
with a
massage chair recliner.
Reflexology is about applying pressure in the feet and hands to relieve
pressure in other parts of the body. This technique has been known from
many early peoples and was practiced as part of healing. With the rise
of science, these reflexology techniques have been more thoroughly
tested and each specific healing area has been identified. Foot
reflexology is known to reduce back pain and even headaches by applying
gentle pressure in particular reflexology areas on your feet.
Dr. Fitzgerald went on to map out these zones and created the first
modern reflexology charts. A foot massage uses certain strokes to relax
the feet and the individual. However, foot reflexology helps to
increase the health and well being of the entire body. As foot
reflexology is applied, healing of other parts of the body began.
Sometimes, the healing was spontaneous, but more often, the healing
takes periodic treatments to sustain.
Why is reflexology massage effective? Interestingly, the body reacts to
stress or anxiety based on a flight or fight reaction. The stress
reaction mobilizes the body through the nervous system. The feet are
ready to run and the hands are ready to fight. The feet and hands need
the support of the major organs and muscles to protect the body, so
these too are mobilized. Reflexology helps to calm the feet and the
major organs and muscles thus reducing the tension of stress and
anxiety.
The Panasonic Real Pro Ultra and the Omega Montage Premier massage
chair both offer reflexology foot massage. These reflexology massages
use air compression massage. The air system will gently squeeze, hold
and then release your feet. This gentle action helps to relieve tension
in the feet. Additionally, reflexology nodes are built into the foot
wells to induce full body relaxation. These massage chair recliners are
effective in helping you to relax.
One of the critical discoveries by Dr. Fitzgerald was that reflexology
massage had many healing benefits when an individual received
continuous, periodic treatments. He found that just doing a sporadic
reflexology massage did not have the same results as patients that
received the treatment on a recurring basis. The build up of stress is
a continuous process and the relief of such build up must also be
continuous. This is a critical distinction with parallels to many types
of health issues like diet and exercise which need to be on a
continuous basis.
To get the full benefit of foot reflexology massage, it needs to be
administered on a frequent basis. This can be inconvenient to have to
always go to a massage therapist to receive treatment. Another terrific
alternative is a massage chair recliner. Receive a daily reflexology
foot massage at the end of a long day. Just come home, kick off your
shoes and let your massage chair melt the stress and anxiety away.
