Reflexology

Reflexology helps

  • Improve nerve and blood supply
  • Relieve stress and tension
  • Help the body to achieve homeostasis

Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the organ glands and parts of the body. It is a unique method of using the finger and thumb to access these areas and is particularly good for people who do not want a treatment where massage and manipulation are used.

 More people are now seeking complementary methods of treatment for many common complaints such as:

  • Bad back
  • Sleep related conditions
  • Malaise
  • Fatigue
  • Asthma
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Arthritis
  • Menstrual problems

And many more conditions too numerous to mention- Reflexology is one such treatment.

It is the study of the reflexes in the feet and hands, which relate to all the body and its functions.

Where does Reflexology come from?

Reflexology is a very old method of treatment dating back to ancient Egyptian times, at least 5000BC. Evidence of its use has been found on wall paintings in caves, it has also been used by the Chinese for over 5000 years.

How does it work?

No one knows exactly how Reflexology works, although several theories exist. One of these theories suggests that energy is constantly flowing through channels in the body which terminate to form the reflex points on the hands and feet. When the energy flows in unimpeded we are healthy, but when it is blocked, by tension or congestion, disease occurs.

Since 75-80% of all today’s diseases are due to stress and tension, reflexology’s main benefit is that it relaxes the whole body and by treating the reflexes breaks down any blockages allowing balance to be restored to the body.

The first treatment usually takes one and a half hours. Subsequent treatments are recommended as the practitioner advises.
