Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet or hands.

Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and mood.

Instead of applying pressure to muscles, suction from silicone cups pulls skin, tissue, and muscles upward. This relieves pain while also removing toxins from your body. Cupping is a form of myofascial release, and we use suction to soften and release adhesions, restructure the fascia, release toxin buildup in the tissues, and create space along the spine and low back for more effective movement and circulation. The treatment increases nutrient-rich blood supply in a specific area of the body, like your legs or shoulders, which greatly aids in recovering from injuries faster too.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
