Reflexology

What is it?

Reflexology is a natural healing art that is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, ears, and feet that correspond to every part, organ, and gland in your body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology releases tension, improves circulation, and promotes homeostasis.

Benefits:
Reflexology encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. Reflexology has been shown to be effective for: back pain, migraines, infertility, arthritis, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, sports injuries, digestive disorders, stress-related conditions *Reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.

Who can benefit from reflexology?
Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.  Reflexology helps us to cope on a physical, mental and emotional level thereby encouraging us to heal and maintain health in all areas of our lives.

What happens when I go for treatment?
On the first visit, the reflexologist will have a preliminary talk with you to determine your present and past health and lifestyle.  The reflexologist will then use their hands to apply pressure to the feet. The application and the effect of the therapy are unique to each person.   A professionally trained reflexologist can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet, and by working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body. A treatment session usually lasts for about one hour.  A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your body’s needs.

How will I feel after a reflexology treatment?
After one or two treatments your body may respond in a very definite way. Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is a part of the healing process.  This is vital information to feed back to the reflexologist as it shows how your body is responding to treatment. This will help the reflexologist to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
