What is Therapeutic Facial Reflexology?
Lone Sorensen developed this therapy with over 30 years of research and practical implementation
throughout her entire international organisation and Lone claims she is obtaining effective results in many
illnesses and dysfunctions of vital organs such as hormonal imbalances, neurological problems, brain injury, infertility etc. In essence this therapy is a combination of the wisdom of ancient medical traditions with modern neuro-anatomy to help improve the underlying imbalances, which often manifest in our bodies in the form of physical, mental and/or emotional issues. Its effectiveness is found in its ability to encourage the individual’s natural healing processes to help maintain the health and balance of the whole body. It works by using precise stimulation of reflex points, nerve points and zones on the face and scalp, sometimes on their own and often in combinations to stimulate the brain using the nervous system to send impulses directly to affect corresponding specific parts of the body helping to bring the body’s Chi (energy) back into alignment and balance.
Most people find Facial Reflexology Sorensensistem™ beneficial for deep relaxation as each treatment can release endorphins that promote and calm the mind thus inducing a deep state of relaxation helping to relieve many of the symptoms of stress and fatigue. By coincidence, this technique appears to have a rejuvenating and uplifting effect on Client’s faces, as the blood is stimulated and lymphatic drainage helps to give them a naturally glowing complexion. Therapeutic Facial reflexology is a safe and gentle holistic treatment, which is suitable for all ages and physical conditions.
This reflex technique based on the neuro-biochemical action that is caused by stimulating an area or a point, and which has both a general and /or partial effect in the entire organism. This therapy is used to treat organic, muscle and bone symptoms, to regulate the metabolism / hormonal system and to activate the micro-circulation, plus helping emotional symptoms like anguish, mental fatigue, lack of memory, insomnia etc. If we consider our skin like the messenger that connects the outside world with the brain, it should not surprise the great effect that his treatment has on our minds.
