What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic therapy which works to rebalance and harmonize the body. The systems of the body are mapped out on the feet and by working specific reflexes on the feet, a response is triggered in the corresponding systems of the body. This enables the body to restore its natural balance, and encourages the body to heal itself.
When a body is out of balance due to illness, stress, injury or disease, certain energy pathways are blocked preventing the body from functioning effectively. A Reflexologist can detect tiny deposits and imbalances on the feet and by applying pressure to certain reflexes, energy blockages can be released helping to maintain the body's natural equilibrium.
Who can benefit from Reflexology?
Everyone can benefit from Reflexology - from babies through to the very elderly. Around 75% of illnesses are believed to be stress related, and therefore having a relaxing treatment will help the body to rebalance and harmonize itself.
You don't have to be ill to have Reflexology, however Reflexology has been shown to be particularly effective for many conditions including:
- Stress- related conditions
- Back Pain
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Migraine
- Digestive Disorders [e.g. Irritable Bowel Syndrome]
- Circulatory Problems
- Sleep disorders
- Anxiety and Depression
- General fatigue
- Arthritis and chronic pain
- Subfertility
Reflexology also helps to speed up recovery from injury and illness, improves circulation, strengthens the immune system and gives a feeling of well-being. The treatment itself is extremely relaxing, bringing an immediate release of tension, and prolonged health benefits.
A Reflexologist does not diagnose medical conditions, claim to cure, or prescribe medication. If you have a specific medical condition, you are advised to seek professional medical help.
