REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an ancient cultural practice with a modern history of scientific study. Early civilization’s in the Far East and Egypt and tribal communities of the Americas used hand and foot work as a healing method.
Reflexologists use the feet and hands as a mirror of the body. The stimulation of specific reflex points can affect associated organs and systems; for example, the big toe reflects the head and brain. Combinations of massage and pressure techniques over the feet produces deep relaxation.
Reflexology can be done on the hands, but most reflexologists work on the feet, so expect to take off your footwear and relax on a couch or reclining chair. The practitioner stimulates the reflex points by using alternating thumb pressure on each foot, observing any areas of tenderness.

Most people find the treatment relaxing, but rarely, a slight worsening of symptoms, indicating that the body’s natural healing process has begun, can follow it. Once balance has been reached, it is important to have regular treatments to maintain this.

It has been shown that Reflexology may help by:
• Balancing the whole system
• Cleansing the body of toxins and impurities
• Inducing deep relaxation and improving sleep
• Improving circulation
• Revitalising energy
• Reducing Stress
