Facial Reflexology
A unique treatment developed from 3 ancient alternative therapies: Chinese Energy Meridians, Facial Acupuncture, Vietnamese and South American Indian body maps on the face.
Benefits
Facial Reflexology is a relaxing, healing treatment. By stimulating an area or point on the face, it can have a beneficial effect on the whole body. It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy.
It can help to identify the root cause of an imbalance and corrects recurring symptoms. It can help people suffering from muscular-skeletal pains and various types of headaches.
As Facial Reflexology also releases muscular tension and improves blood circulation in the face, another benefit is its anti-ageing properties.
Anyone can benefit from the treatment, including children.
What happens during treatment
The client lies fully clothed on his or her back on a massage couch.
I use a little rose oil and cream and start to massage the face with my fingers. There are 7 steps in the treatment and I use different strokes at each stage; slow circular strokes on points on the meridians; slow, firm long strokes to identify any deposits in organs of the body; fast, short strokes to stimulate these areas ending the treatment with slow strokes.
Clients are usually very relaxed by the second step and often fall asleep.
Treatments last 45 minutes to an hour. At the first treatment I will complete a history of the client’s health.
Background
Facial Reflexology was developed through many years of research by Lone Sorensen López, an internationally renown therapist through a 30 year career as a complementary therapist in Denmark and Argentina. Her research and work also took her to Cuba, France, Spain and Germany.
In March 2001 she was awarded three honorary titles by the World Health Organisation in Argentina.
In Denmark Lone worked principally with children with learning and behavioural difficulties. She then spent 12 years in Argentina treating patients with brain damage and neurological problems.
