As a mecca for well-being, Cory’s Hair Studio & Day Spa offers reflexology to keep your body balanced, relaxed and healthy.

“Reflexology puts you in tune with your body,” says Molly Hatch, a licensed massage therapist who specializes in this ancient healing method. “It enhances your overall well-being.”

Based on the theory that there are reflex points on the feet and hands linked to every organ and part of the body, the therapist applies pressure to the feet with specific thumb and finger techniques to remove energy blockages, thus relieving tension in the body and improving overall health. It also is said to help balance the nervous system and stimulate the release of endorphins that help reduce pain.

“Reflexology helps relieve pain from headaches to back pain, menstrual cramps, stomach ailments and more,” says Molly, who honed this specialized skill while working in Sedona, Arizona, before moving back to Northeast Ohio.

“It can even help a sinus infection, as applying pressure on trigger points in the feet helps move lymph fluid congested by the eyes and nose.”

Cory’s offers 60-minute reflexology sessions, or you can also incorporate reflexology into any massage.

Cory’s Hair Studio & Day Spa is located at 7216 Pearl Road in Middleburg Heights. For an appointment, call 440-888-8864 or visit CorysHairStudio.biz.
