WELCOME TO MARIS – BEAUTY INSTITUTE IN GDYNIA

Reflexology

It’s a natural path to balance

Reflexology is more than just a massage – it is a precise yet extremely relaxing method of working with the body, based on the stimulation of reflex points located on the feet, hands and head. These points form specific maps that correspond to individual organs, glands and systems in the body. The right touch can stimulate the body into action or restore calmness – depending on your needs.

The reflexology treatment performed at the MARIS Beauty Institute is a combination of attentive work with the body, the knowledge and intuition of the reflexologist and an atmosphere conducive to deep relaxation. It is a safe and natural form of health support that anyone – regardless of age – can benefit from.

What the treatment consists of

Reflexology is not a massage – it is a subtle yet effective method of fine-tuning the body by applying pressure to specific reflex points. A reflexologist uses his or her thumb and fingers to rhythmically “walk” over a map of the feet, hands or head. Each point corresponds to a specific part of the body – so by affecting it, we stimulate related organs, glands or systems.

The treatment lasts about 90 minutes and involves careful work with areas that may have energy stagnation, tension or blockages. At MARIS, the reflexologist approaches each client individually – with attentiveness, gentleness and full interest regarding their needs.

The treatment requires no special preparation. All you need to do is dress comfortably – so that the reflexologist can work comfortably on the feet (up to the knees), hands (up to the shoulders) or face and head. For head reflexology, no makeup is recommended. Before the treatment, remove jewelry.

To whom and when we recommend reflexology

For everyone – regardless of age, health condition or stress level. Reflexology can be used by children, adults, seniors, as well as pregnant women (excluding pregnancies at risk). The treatment will prove useful both as a form of prevention and support in many ailments or during recovery.

The treatment is especially recommended for ailments:

  • chronic stress, insomnia, migraines
  • disorders of the digestive system (intestines, liver, stomach)
  • circulatory problems, hypertension and hypotension
  • joint pains, spinal pains, post-traumatic pains
  • weakened immunity, allergies, lymphedema
  • Hormonal ailments (menopause, thyroid problems, cycle)
  • disorders of the respiratory and urinary systems

Does reflexology hurt?

The treatment can be painful at times – but it’s a so-called “good pain,” signaling that a particular zone needs attention. The reflexologist always adjusts the pressure according to the client’s needs, sensitivity and health condition. Many people describe the feelings accompanying the treatment as relief and pleasant relaxation.

What we expect

The effects can be felt after the first treatment, although a series of appointments is recommended for full results – the frequency is selected individually.

  • Deep relaxation and better quality of sleep
  • alleviation of pain and tension
  • reduction of stress levels
  • improve mental well-being
  • stimulation of self-regulation and regeneration processes
  • improving circulation and lymph flow
  • support detoxification of the body

What to know after the procedure

Possible short-term side reactions of the body include:

  • body temperature variability
  • mood swings
  • Increased urination (urine color and odor may be altered)
  • increased surge of energy or drowsiness
  • tenderness in the body area being worked on
  • temporary pressure fluctuations

For 48 hours after the treatment, the body works intensively – the detoxification process is supported. During this time it is worth:

  • drink plenty of warm water or electrolytes
  • avoid alcohol and heavy exercise
  • give up saunas and hot baths

In addition, our reflexologist provides tips after the treatment on how to work with specific points yourself at home to prolong the effects of the therapy. It is worth remembering that reflexology brings the best results when supported by a healthy diet, hydration and a conscious lifestyle.

Contraindications to reflexology

  • Active bacterial and viral infections
  • inflammatory conditions requiring hospital treatment
  • Fresh injuries, postoperative (area) conditions
  • advanced varicose veins, ringworm, foot ulcers
  • pregnancy at risk
  • Active head injuries, epilepsy, depression (for head reflexology)
  • Recent invasive dental or cosmetic procedures (head, face)

If there are contraindications in one area, the reflexologist may suggest working on another – for example, instead of feet, on the hands or head.
