Ever come home with a little stress or anxiety? The constant pressures of work and home life can cause a build up of stress and anxiety in the body. Perhaps you have had the pleasure of having a foot massage? A foot reflexology does more than just make your feet feel better. In fact, foot reflexology massage is thought to alleviate many ailments including back pain, stress and headaches. Get daily stress and anxiety relief with a Foot Reflexology massage with a massage chair.

Reflexology is about applying pressure in the feet and hands to relieve pressure in other parts of the body. This technique has been known from many early peoples and was practiced as part of healing. With the rise of science, these reflexology techniques have been more thoroughly tested and each specific healing area has been identified. Foot reflexology is known to reduce back pain and even headaches by applying gentle pressure in particular reflexology areas on your feet.

Almost 100 years ago, modern science was applied to the art of foot reflexology. The result of these studies was to correlate the applying of pressure in areas of the feet to healing in different organs in the body. Strong correlations were found which resulted in zones of the feet being defined as reflexology points. Applying gentle or firm pressure in these areas induced relaxation in specific organs of the body. This brought the art of reflexology into the science of reflexology.

Why is reflexology massage effective? Interestingly, the body reacts to stress or anxiety based on a flight or fight reaction. The stress reaction mobilizes the body through the nervous system. The feet are ready to run and the hands are ready to fight. The feet and hands need the support of the major organs and muscles to protect the body, so these too are mobilized. Reflexology helps to calm the feet and the major organs and muscles thus reducing the tension of stress and anxiety.

The Panasonic Real Pro Ultra and the Omega Montage Premier massage chair both offer reflexology foot massage. These reflexology massages use air compression massage. The air system will gently squeeze, hold and then release your feet. This gentle action helps to relieve tension in the feet. Additionally, reflexology nodes are built into the foot wells to induce full body relaxation. These massage chair recliners are effective in helping you to relax.

An interesting finding about Foot Reflexology massage is that it must be applied on a frequent basis. This makes a lot of sense, since stress is applied to us on a frequent basis as well. The stress if left unchecked builds up in the body. Muscles become tenser and less flexible. This tension needs to be relieved. The release of this tension must be relieved in parallel to its build up. Foot reflexology applied more frequently is found to be most effective.

A massage chair recliner is a perfect method to receive these health benefits on a continuous basis in the comfort and privacy of your home. Not only does a reflexology foot massage feel great, but it also helps to reduce stress and anxiety from the build up of stress. Many causes of back pain and discomfort are related to the posture and your feet. Relieving the tension from your feet also helps to improve posture and minimize back pain. Check out a shiatsu massage chair as a way to get continuous foot reflexology treatments to improve your overall health and well being.
