What is Reflexology?

Picture
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment to the feet  that provides a major contribution in maintaining good health. Reflexology is based on the concept that reflex areas on your feet and hands represent every part of your body. Bodily systems can be thrown out of balance by varying factors such as illness, stress or diet and the resulting imbalances can prevent the body from working at optimum performance.

A properly trained reflexologist can detect these imbalances and using a specialised technique will work all reflexes on the foot to induce relaxation and stimulate your body's own healing processes to achieve balance and harmony.


**Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe**

How does it work? Reflexology is based on the idea that energy flows around the body. When this energy is free flowing we are healthy, balanced, and living in harmony with our environment on a mental, spiritual and physical level, if this energy flow becomes blocked illness can result.

Our bodies have the amazing ability to heal themselves given the right environment, a reflexology treatment aims to clear energy blockages, promote deep relaxation, and improve blood and lymph circulation so allowing the body to heal itself.
