Reflexology
The
Roman Spa hydrobath is considered to have a similar effect to reflexology
and acupressure in the respect that it massages the skin, stimulating
the bodys trigger points for an all-over treatment.
The
foot massage unit intensifies the effect on the soles of the feet for
improved circulation and rejuvenation, bringing a refreshing all-over
feeling. This will relieve foot ache, leg cramps and generally assist
the whole body.
The
principle behind reflexology and acupressure is that the body is divided
into zones which are represented by areas of skin on the soles of the
feet and on the body. These areas are known as trigger points. Massaging
the appropriate area is claimed to bring tissues and organs lying along
that particular zone back into balance. Reflexology is gaining popularity
and claims a great deal of success in treating a wide variety of illnesses.
Most
reflexologists also claim good response in alleviating acute and chronic
pain and dispelling symptoms of stress.
