Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a gentle, non-intrusive, complementary therapy. It involves light pressure on the reflex points of the soles of your feet or hands. This action encourages the body to relax completely, enabling to heal itself. It may help to reduce stress, create deep relaxation and improve circulation, revitalising and rebalancing the whole system.

How does Reflexology work?

Reflexology is based on the idea that the feet or hands represent a map of the whole body. The reflex points on your feet or hands relate to each body system and organ. By applying pressure to the reflexes, the connected areas of the body benefit. The purpose is to treat and balance the whole person rather than symptoms. It encourages the body’s own healing process for both mental and physical well-being and is an extremely relaxing treatment.

It can also help if you are experiencing problems with physical health, dealing with stress, sleeping issues or emotional challenges. It can provide a period of time just for you, where you receive one to one attention and supportive touch in an empathetic listening environment. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard medical treatment in most cases to promote better health.

Most people find it wonderfully relaxing and clients report feelings of reduced tension and stress, increased energy, improved sleep and enhanced  mood and well-being. They can also experience an improvement in the symptoms of specific conditions.
