Clinical Reflexology - Where Touch Imitates Nature

Calgary Reflexology Touch Imitates Nature with Teresa Graham, RMT
Clinical Reflexology - the touch that imitates nature
by Teresa Graham, RMT
Humans are the only mammals on earth to wear shoes and keep our feet covered most of the time. We wear shoes that decorate our feet, give us added height, keep us dry and warm, let us run over any surface … BUT through this we have lost touch with the natural stimulation our feet receive when walking barefoot.
It seems also, that because we usually keep them under cover, some of us feel squeamish, uneasy and even vulnerable when having our feet uncovered, exposed and touched.

Healthy Hand Reflexology

Hand Reflexology treatments for Calgary NW with Teresa Graham, RMT
Hand Reflexology is also available in Calgary NW
by Teresa Graham, RMT
While Hand Reflexology is good for the entire body it is also beneficial for some specific hand problems such as tight tendons from computer keyboards and texting.
Take a moment to think about how many things your hands do in a day. From the time you get up until bedtime they are often in continuous motion. Hands and fingers spend much of the day curved inwards (towards the wrist) as we type, text, stir, hold a mug, put on makeup, brush our teeth, grip the steering wheel… How often do we take time to counterstretch our hands the other way? Continue reading...

Historically Healthy Feet

Happy Feet with Reflexology, Teresa Graham, RMT in Calgary
Reflexology creates happy feet!
by Teresa Graham, RMT
While believed to have originated in Greece the earliest known recording of Reflexology dates back to Egypt some 4,000 years ago. Illustrations depicting the stimulation of specific points on the hands and feet were discovered around 2,300 BC on the walls of a Physicians tomb in Egypt. Written in hieroglyphics above the painting are the words “Do not let it be painful”, and the physician replies “I do as you will praise me”. Continue reading...

New Research Brings New Awareness to Reflexology

For most of the time reflexology has been practiced in the West, reflexologists have operated under the hypothesis that the "crunchies" found in people's feet are metabolic waste products (specifically, uric and lactic acids) that have accumulated at nerve endings. These crystals have been credited with causing pain and impeding the flow of nervous information within the body. 
This sounds reasonable, but new scientific evidence from Europe is suggesting something quite different.

Got the Winter Feet Blues?

Calgary Reflexology for your personal foot care with Teresa Graham, RMT
by Teresa Graham, RMT
When the weather cools our feet are stuffed into socks, slippers, shoes and boots and our body loses that essential connection to the earth.  With cold weather the circulation to our feet and hands can also contract, just when needed the most, as our body works to keep its core warm. So with all the stimulation our nerve endings have been used to through the warmer months reduced considerably, our whole being suffers. Read more
