Mystic Lifestyle Spa, offering world class therapies and services organised a two day reflexology session  at DLF Mall Saket on 13th and 14th of April 2013 . It was aimed at creating awareness on foot reflexology, a specialised service offered by Mystic Lifestyle Spa across all its nine centres in New Delhi. Foot reflexology is a therapy, which is often misunderstood as a foot massage.

Organised by Mystic Lifestyle Spa,  the event started with a questionnaire asking participants about their  medical history, diet, exercise and general health followed by foot reflexology session using sesame seed oil with lavender.

Speaking at the occasion, Nikita Shankar, Director Mystic Spa said “Everyone can benefit from reflexology treatments. You do not have to have an illness to have reflexology. Clients who want to alleviate stress can benefit from reflexology. All ages can benefit from this, including infants and children. We have clients as young as three months old to people in their 90’s seeking our services”

The benefits of a foot reflexology session are manifold, calmness and serenity, improved circulation, increased energy and balanced emotions, among many others. It is appropriate for all ages, as well as for a variety of ailments. Not only soothing to sore feet, it can benefit most other body aches and pains. If you can't handle pressure in a part of your body because of soreness or inflammation, there is a corresponding part in the foot that can bring relief.

Upasha, a sales professional, who participated in the session said “It is the first time I have taken a foot reflexology session  and my reflexology session was awesome! The reflexologist was not only thorough, but she communicated with me every step of the way and pointed out the relationship between the areas of my feet that she was working on and the other parts of my body. What a learning experience! I usually spend 6-7 works standing all day at the sales counter and felt a tremendous amount of relief after she was finished. I look forward to my next session!"

Foot reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in places such as India, China and Egypt. In ancient times, we stimulated reflexes naturally by walking barefoot over rocks, stones and rough ground. In today's modern world, we have lost much of nature's way of maintaining a balanced and healthy equilibrium. Reflexology helps to restore this balance and promote natural health and vitality.

The event saw huge number of people of all age group actively participating. Each session which lasted 15 minutes each, saw many shoppers relax and take part in the session. 

 “Foot reflexology is a "pressure therapy" that involves applying focused pressure to certain known reflex points located in the foot to cure or prevent disease. It is a complimentary therapy, intended for use alongside conventional medical care and not as a replacement” said a massage therapist at Mystic Spa.
 
Discount vouchers and complimentary vouchers and massage oil were also distributed to the audience.  A lot of audience chose to fix appointments with Mystic Spa’s foot reflexologist at the venue itself for the next session. The whole session was a huge success with consumer’s showering complementary words”.
 
Research shows that a single reflexology session:

• creates relaxation
• reduces anxiety
• diminishes pain
• decreases heart rate and blood pressure
• increases oxygen saturation and lowers respiratory rate
