Reflexology




The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to man for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian people.

The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

A reflexologist uses hands only to apply gentle pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body.

Reflexology alleviates the effects of stress and tension by inducing deep relaxation and allows the nervous system to calm down and function normally. Circulation proceeds smoothly, blood flow is improved and oxygen reaches all cells of the body. The body returns to its natural rhythms, energy flows and the body, mind and spirit are brought back into balance and harmony. It can also be used as a preventative measure against ill health. The gentle therapy of reflexology encourages the body to heal itself in its own time, quite often making up for a lifetime of neglect.
