Restorative Reflexology potentiates the effects and benefits of restorative Yoga and a Reflexology session. Reflexology has been used since the time of King Tutankhamun and Queen Nefertiti to quell the body’s nervous energy and as a defense against looming disease. Mari Bodywork utilizes an intimate knowledge of Shiatsu points, anatomy and energetics in combination with the zones and reflexes of the feet to address every system in the body. One of Mari Bodywork’s primary goals is optimal functional and pain-free movement; methodical and intuitive work with the platform of the body can pin-point specific misaligned areas that have a far reaching upward ripple effect in the body. Chronic pain syndromes and asymmetries in the body CAN be squelched at the feet. Easy body mobilization and Restorative Yoga poses have a profound effect in preparing the body to receive the Reflexology treatment. After a 15 minute unwinding Restorative Yoga protocol the client is positioned in Savasana, the Yoga relaxation pose, fully supported from head to toes with bolsters, blankets and blocks specifically arranged for their body type. The Restorative Reflexology treatment continues with the client in this custom fitted relaxation pose. The mobility and flexibility of the spine or lack therein is telling of a person’s current and future health; if movement of the spine is limited and/or compromised messages from the nerves will be impeded and health/movement will be comprimised. The easy body mobilization and Restorative Yoga creates an understanding of the individual’s spinal integrity which is then integrated into the Reflexology treatment.
