Foot Reflexology Massage
We all get tired feet from time to time, and if you're seeking a local massage in Canberra, Foot Reflexology offers an excellent way to rejuvenate and revitalise your body.
This treatment works by stimulating the nerve endings in the feet that correspond to the organs and body's work zones with a specialised tool.
Foot Reflexology involves hands-on stretching and massage, along with the use of a stick to apply pressure to reflex points, stimulating the energy lines and energy points that form the heart and soul of this therapeutic technique.

Health Benefits of OnSon's Foot Reflexology Massage
Foot reflexology massage is based on the idea that there are certain pressure points in the feet that correspond to different parts of the body systems. By applying pressure to these points, it is believed that reflexology can help to relieve stress and tension in the body, as well as improve circulation.
Improve Sleep Quality
One of the most common benefits of our foot massage Canberra reflexology is that it improves sleep quality. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, a foot reflexology session may help you get the rest you need. The relaxation that comes from a foot reflexology massage can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can further improve sleep quality.
Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Another benefit of this massage is that it can increase serotonin and reduce cortisol. These are two of the ‘feel-good’ chemicals in the body that regulate your mood. When you have a reflexology session, your body releases cortisol.
This is the stress hormone that keeps you alert and focused on your tasks. After around an hour, your body releases serotonin, which makes you feel calm and relaxed. In addition to serotonin, reflexology also helps in the release of endorphins. These are the hormones that make you feel happy and decrease stress and pain.
Lower Blood Pressure
If your blood pressure is high, you could be at risk of a heart attack or stroke. Reflexology can help to lower your blood pressure by relaxing your nervous system and reducing stress. By making you feel calmer, reflexology helps to make blood flow more evenly around the body.
Better Digestion
Many people have problems with their digestion in some form or another. This can be caused by poor diet, stress, or any number of factors that cause the digestive system to work improperly. The good news is that reflexology helps to improve digestion by stimulating the digestive organs through gentle massage.
By improving the function of this vital system, foot reflexology treatment can help to reduce inflammation in the gut and improve nutrient absorption from food sources so that you get all the vitamins and minerals you need from each meal.
Promotes Relaxation
One of the most commonly reported benefits of reflexology is that it promotes relaxation. Because reflexology stimulates the body's natural healing processes and helps to reduce inflammation, it can relieve stress and tension in your tight muscles and joints. As a result, you can feel more relaxed and calm after receiving a reflexology session because your entire body is able to heal itself from the inside out.
The deeper you go into your feet, the more intense the treatment becomes, which is why this method of treatment should be reserved for those with more serious conditions.
