Disneyland for the feet and hands
"Variety is not just the spice of life it is the
very stuff of life itself."
"Variety is not just the spice of life it is the
very stuff of life itself." This was the statement by a man who had just left a
sensory deprivation tank. It holds true to reflexology as well.
Feet and hands need variety to achieve
stability. Shoes have been called the modern cradle-board because of the way
they reshape the feet. Hands are subject to repetitive stress injuries because
they are way overboard with the same
tasks.
A new concept is gaining hold.
It is called allostasis. It is the ability to achieve stability through
adaptation or change. We need change to achieve stability. Flat, boring surfaces
stress the feet. Pounding on a keyboard stresses the hands. They stress and
weaken our whole system.
A reflexology
session to me is like Disneyland for the feet and hands. It is a variety of
sensations that we seldom experience in our day to day lives. The variety of
techniques creates stability not only in our feet and hands but within our
nervous system as well. The nervous system needs change to remain
stable.
What if you were put in charge
of creating a Disneyland for the feet and hands- what would you
design?
