The Advanced Bergman Method: Facial Reflexology
Developed by the award-winning Ziggie Bergman, this advanced therapy is based on the principles of zone therapy and is accredited as the only facial reflexology method utilizing this specific technique.
The Therapeutic Mechanism
Like traditional foot reflexology, this treatment involves stimulating pressure points on the face that correspond to various bodily functions and organs. This stimulation works to support the body’s natural rebalancing process, thereby contributing to overall well-being and improved energy flow.
The Facial Advantage
While the core theory remains the same as foot reflexology—stimulating reflex points to encourage whole-body function—the facial approach offers a distinctive and unique benefit to the skin.
The technique itself requires a gentle fingertip approach, rather than the firmer pressure used on the foot. This delicate application directly stimulates the facial nerves, muscles, and tissues. This action:
- Aids in Relieving Tension: It specifically targets and helps to relax muscle tissue in the face, which may help relieve tensions often associated with tension headaches, and promotes better sleep quality and digestive comfort.
- Promotes Skin Renewal: The increased circulation to the facial area promotes the production of new skin tissue, resulting in a visible improvement in skin texture and tone.
- Enhances Radiance: This dual-action supports the body’s systems to process toxins, leading to a radiant, glowing complexion and contributing to softening the appearance of fine lines.
