Reflexology: (sometimes called foot therapy in the West) has been known for thousands of years by the Egyptians, Indians and Chinese for its deep therapeutic effect on the body. Some Eastern Practitioners also use it as a diagnostic tool. In brief it is an ancient form of pressure treatment to reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that correspond with points of the body.
How can Reflexology help? When the body and mind suffers from stress, injury, trauma or disease it is in a state of imbalance. The vital pathways of energy are blocked from functioning effectively.
Reflexology aims to restore balance to the body physiologically by applying appropriate pressure to the lower legs and feet. This in turn boosts the circulatory and lymphatic system that eases tension and eliminates toxins that have accumulated in the body over a period of time.
Who can benefit from Reflexology? Anyone can benefit from this treatment as it aims to treat the whole person not just the feet. The therapy brings relief to a range of acute and chronic conditions.
What can I expect in a treatment? Treatments are performed with a foot bath first. Then using the practitioners hands/fingers/thumbs there follows stretches, joint activation and soft tissue techniques used on the feet.
