Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the idea that areas on the feet, hands and ears correspond to all areas of the body including the internal organs through the many nervous system reflex loops.

By manipulating, massaging, squeezing, and pushing on these parts, you can improve general health and well being.

Reflexes have a dual purpose- protection and development, and they are the fundamental neurological building blocks for motor and cognitive development.

Pressure sensors in the feet and hands are a part of the body's reflexive response that makes possible the "fight or flight" reaction to danger. Feet ready to flee and hands ready to fight communicate with the body's internal organs. The sudden adrenal surge that enables a person to lift a car is an example of this reaction. Reflexology taps into this reflex network, providing an exercise of pressure sensors and thus the internal organs to which they are inextricably tied.

Reflexology can be used from infancy to adulthood to treat various conditions.

Benefits of Reflexology

• decrease stress
• reset homeostasis, the body's chemical equilibrium
• ease digestive dilemmas (cramps, constipation, bloating)
• help kidney blockage and tension and balance urinary flow
• help to decrease muscle tension

The Lymphatic System is a complex network of vessels and ducts that move fluid throughout the body. It is also responsible for forcing toxins away from healthy cells and carrying germ-fighting materials to cells when they are under attack by viruses. Though fluid moves through the lymphatic system, it does not have its own pumping mechanism.

Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic method that uses both subtle, gentle techniques that create a pump for the lymph nodes, as well as massage-like manipulations to stimulate lymph movement which is intended to help the body produce a free-flowing internal cleansing system.

Benefits:

• greatly decreases swelling associated with injury or overuse
• treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, sinus congestion, the common cold

Fascia is a very densely woven covering that connects every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein as well as all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the Fascial System is that it is, in fact, one structure that exists from head to foot without interruption. It has the appearance of a spider web. In this way you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia (connective tissue of the body), like the yarn in a sweater.

Fascial restrictions, caused by improper posture, overuse, injury, and scar tissue, exert excessive pressure producing pain and restricting motion and proper function of the body. It affects our flexibility and stability, and is a large determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.

Myofascial Release is the release of connective tissue around muscle fibre. Through very effective hands-on techniques, the Massage Therapist provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This allows the connective tissue fibres to reorganize themselves in a more flexible and functional fashion.

Myofascial Release is an excellent technique to begin a treatment, or as a complete treatment in and of itself.

CranioSacral Therapy includes gentle, non-invasive, hands-on techniques performed when a Aliyah Specialist manually applies subtle movements of the spinal and cranial bones in an attempt to bring the central nervous system into harmony.
