WARM WATER REFLEXOLOGY CAN UNBLOCK ENERGY CANNELS

Reflexology involves the application of deep pressure to energy channels or “reflex points” in the hands and feet. The benefits go beyond comforting relief for just those areas.

• Over 5,000 years ago in China, India and Egypt, specific points on patients’ feet and hands were manipulated to affect healing in other parts of the body.
  
• Treatments are based on energy channels (qi or chi in Chinese and Japanese medicine, prana in Hindu) that flow through specific meridians or zones in the body.
  
• In the early 1800s, Dr. William Fitzgerald identified each channel’s “reflex points” and their corresponding muscles, organs and functions and plotted detailed maps of the hands and feet.
  
• Reflexology is said to loosen calcium obstructions and free the nerve pathways.
  
• Relaxation is one of the goals in practicing reflexology.

Sundance jets can target specific pressure points used in reflexology. On some models, powerful foot jets massage all areas of the feet, which contain more than 7,000 nerve endings. Palm jets (on select models) pinpoint sensitive nerves and muscles in the hands and wrists, and can help alleviate the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome.
