Have you ever noticed how much tension you hold in your shoulders?
When working around the shoulder reflex area of the foot, you may notice different sensations, such as:
🌿 Grittiness or a grainy feeling
🌿 Popping sensations
🌿 Tenderness or sensitivity
🌿 Areas that feel particularly reactive to touch.
Our shoulders are also a familiar place to experience physical tension, particularly when life feels overwhelming.
Work, family, responsibilities, emotional pressure, overthinking and constantly being there for everyone else.
Sometimes we’re so busy holding everything together that we forget to check in with ourselves.
Reflexology offers an opportunity to pause, slow down and reconnect with your body.
A little time where you don’t have to do, fix, organise or carry anything for anyone else.
Just time for you.
Perhaps it’s time to put some of that weight down.
