Reflexology
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in the reflex zones on the feet and also on the hands.
It is a form of manipulation of pressure points to help relax, stimulate and reduce stress to organs, glands, and other parts of the body.
It is believed this type of stimulation can help alleviate and prevent various conditions. It is not a replacement for other treatments, but when used in conjunction with them, it is a recipe for relief for many people.
Your hands and feet are reflex maps with certain areas corresponding to every body part. When pressure is applied to those specific areas, a signal is sent from the nervous system to increase circulation and muscular functions to the corresponding area.
Sometimes the body is in a state of ‘imbalance’ following illness or injury, disease or stress and energy pathways are blocked preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology helps restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
As a reflexologist, I do not heal, the body heals itself. But Reflexology helps to balance all the body systems, stimulating an under-active area and calming an overactive one. It is harmless to those areas functioning correctly.
