The Benefits of Reflexology
This is a pretty good website that contains lots of information about Reflexology in order to help educate the general public.
Ever wonder what to post on your Facebook page? Just copy and paste the url below!
"Some of the benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, to increase energy, to boost circulation, to induce a deep state of relaxation, to eliminate toxins and to stimulate the central nervous system. Reflexology also prevents migraines, cleans up urinary tract conditions, speeds recovery after injury or surgery, helps relieve sleep disorders, reduces depression, and relieves pain. Furthermore, it can help ease the treatment of various cancers and even helps to soothe the pains of pregnancy, even those occurring after the baby is born.
Many of us find ourselves on our feet all day at work. Whether you work in an office, a factory, a field, a hospital, or anything in between, there is a good chance that you put a lot of weight and stress on your feet every day. The thing is, that stress can also manifest itself in the other parts of our body." |

STRETCHING BEFORE JOGGING OR EXERCISING IS WISE
As Reflexologists, staying healthy should be our number one priority. Going to the gym? Or going for a nice bike ride? Or perhaps you're just going to work in your garden.
When you're going to do any form of physical exercise, root yourself in healthy habits by using proper body mechanics. Recognize your limitations, take breaks, and stay hydrated. Be aware of your body and if you experience pain, STOP.
A Few Sample Stretches
Neck and Shoulders: →Roll your shoulders back in a circular motion and slowly move your head from side to side a few times to loosen up.
→Grasp elbow with opposite hand. Pull elbow and arm across chest until you feel a gentle stretch at back of arm; make sure shoulder isn't hunched. Repeat on other side.
→Clasp hands behind head. Press elbows back until you feel a gentle stretch at front of shoulders. Lower Back: →Lie on your back, and bring a knee to your chest, and hold this position for a few moments. Gently grasp behind your knee and extend the knee to achieve as fully a straightened position as you can. Hold this position for up to 20 seconds.
→Lie on back and keep knees bent and feet flat on floor. Keeping the knees together, move the knees to the left than move them to the right, gently rotating the lower spine.
→While standing, place hands firmly on hips, and bend backwards until you feel a stretch. Clasp hands together over head. Lean to one side, keeping back straight, until you feel a stretch in your side. Repeat on other side.
→Use a wall for support, grasp ankle behind you. Push leg back to stretch front of thigh, keeping thigh in line with body. Repeat on other side. |
How to Use Facebook for Your Business
Facebook can help you reach all the people who matter most to your busines. If you're looking for a general overview of how to use Facebook to help your business grow, these fundamentals will set you up for success. You can also focus your activity on Facebook to meet specific business goals.
