Reflexology
This is an effective complementary therapy that is both powerful yet gentle.  Pressure is applied to reflex points on the foot or hand which in turn stimulates certain areas and organs of the body.  This treatment is good for stress and tension and also benefits other conditions such as skin problems (acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis), arthritis, back pain, muscular problems, general infections, headaches and migraine, insomnia, hormonal problems, indigestion, constipation, sinusitis and hayfever, along with many other conditions.

Reflexology can also be done using hot stones, which helps with circulatory problems by warming the feet or hands and encouraging blood flow to the area.

Reflexology Principles and Benefits

Reflexology is a therapy that uses the feet to treat the whole body and was developed in the twentieth century.  The main principle of reflexology is that by massaging and applying pressure to reflex areas of the feet, connected areas of the body will feel the benefit. 

The body is divided by ten zones and the feet are ‘mapped’ to the body’s anatomy so any body system can be accessed and stimulated by massaging the corresponding area of the foot.  The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing processes in order to keep homeostasis or internal balance.  The principle is that the whole person is treated and if one part of the  body is unbalanced, then other parts will be too; therefore w hen congestion or tension is found in the feet, it is believed to mirror the same conditions in   the rest of the body.

Benefits include:

• Relieves tension and stress and has a deeply relaxing effect.
• Improves circulation and increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients that the body needs.
• Releases nervous energy and improves neural efficiency.
• Improves lymphatic flow by the removal and elimination of waste.
• Promotes the body’s self-healing process.

Client Testimonials

"I suffer from gynaecological problems and have done for many years and I have also suffered from muscular problems in my shoulder. I decided to give reflexology a try to see if it helped with either problem.  I was surprised and delighted with the results, the treatments themselves make me fall asleep but the pain in my shoulder has disappeared and the pain I have from the gynaecological problems has also greatly improved.  I will be keeping the treatments up.  Definitely would recommend this treatment to anyone with health worries or who just feels out of balance.  Thank you Nicola."
