Chinese foot reflexology is not just for relaxation

Reflexology Chinese foot reflexology is not just for relaxation, but a powerful therapeutic massage that can stimulate and energize the whole body. Chinese foot reflexology is very different from Western Reflexology (the Ingham Method). While both agree that your feet contain extra sensitive areas which correspond to all of the organs, glands and other parts of your body, Chinese foot reflexology takes this further into practice. Western Reflexology concentrates on relaxation whereas Chinese Reflexology aims to help the body heal and become stronger.

This is much more than just a foot a massage.

By firmly stimulating the feet’s extremely sensitive areas and keeping the feet warm during the massage, Chinese foot reflexology can improve blood and energy circulation across the entire body and its immune system. This can instantly boost well-being and speed up your recovery from various stress-related health conditions.

The premise of cupping stems more than 2000 years ago. It is a traditional Chinese medicine option that requires a professional to place cups on a patient’s body, which can be made using glass, bamboo, iron or pottery. Since there are three different cupping options, dry, air and wet, it is first important to learn about these options in order to choose the right one.

Reflexology can flood the neural pathways with relaxation, inducing a state of peace and tranquility within the body and mind. This physiological change results in the reduction of stress. Stress reduction through reflexology therapy is frequently associated with relieving sleep disorders. This is accomplished by helping your body return to a more relaxed and balanced state, simultaneously working to restore a healthy Circadian rhythm, which is needed for sufficient sleep.

Revitalizes Nerve Functio

Nerve endings lose sensitivity in parts of our body as we age (more so in the extremities). Reflexology has been associated with the stimulation of more than 7,000 different nerve endings during a 1-hour session, naturally increasing nerve functioning and reactivity. The opening and cleansing of neural pathways helps improve overall functionality and reduces toxicity within the body.

Su Li is a magician. If you are in need of a serious massage - that, at times, can be seriously painful - as she addresses your areas of tightness (I am an athlete), look no further. Despite a recent - rather significant - price increase, the price is still reasonable. Understandably, for this price you cannot expect a high-end massage practice; that said, it is clean and inviting. All in all: Very effective massage for the one who has significant tightness and is willing to give up on the frills for an honest price.

Xiu is fantastic! She has 20 years of real eastern medical practice and massage therapy and uses great technique in specific places to release tension in your body. You want someone who understands holistically how your body is out of balance.

Xiu Li has extended knowledge and can support in a wide range of wellness needs. Last time I saw her, we did a massage and cupping, that same night, my sleep quality reached a new level. I recommend her to all my friends in and around Austin.
