Do You Use Reflexology?

I've always loved to have my hands and feet massaged, but lately, I 've been making a concentrated effort when I have a specific health challenge going on to massage certain areas. Usually I end up just rubbing the palms of my hands when I feel queasy or stressed- but did you know:

That squeezing the tips of your fingers can help relieve a headache?

Massaging the middle parts of your fingers and top of the palm of your hand can relieve neck and eye strain due to computer usage?

Massaging lower down in the palm of your hand can relieve back and hip pain?

I mainly use Reflexology of the hands, but I do have a roller that I roll around on the soul of my foot every once in awhile. You can also use a golf ball to roll between your hands or feet. I happen to have a larger massage ball that I use with 'spikes' over it to relieve tight muscles.  This technique is very powerful in that just rolling the ball over the muscles lets the fascia ( The white filmy tissue over the muscle ) release.  When fascia gets too tight, it restricts movement of the muscle ( Think really tight saran wrap over a muscle) and eventually can pull your body out of alignment.

I have read many books about this, but I like the 'package ' the best.  This one happens to be 'Total relfelxology' by Kunz.  They give you the roller, the book, gloves, guides and even a golf ball! I found mine at Barnes and Noble- but I bet Border's has it too!

Try it now! Take a minute and give your hands a little massage. I bet you feel better already!
