What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is an "holistic therapy". This means that it treats the mind, body and soul. During the treatment your feet will be massaged to relax them. Next, the therapist will use gentle pressure on areas of the foot know as "reflexes". Each reflex corresponds to a different part of the body. In this way, the therapist can get a picture of your general health from the textures felt in the reflexes.

Pressure on the reflexes stimulates the natural healing processes by increasing the flow of the body's energy. The therapist can detect blockages in this enery flow as "crystals" in the feet. As the energy flow is improved, unwanted toxins are removed restoring balance throughout the body.

Reflexology is beneficial to everyone as a general form of relaxation but can be particularly effective in bringing relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. These include (but not exclusively):- stress, migranes, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, sports injuries, sleeping disorders and arthritis. It is also frequently used as a palliative treatment for cancer and MS sufferers. Reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.
