Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that works on the feet. Reflexology is a completely safe, natural therapy that stimulates reflex points on the feet. It is based on the theory that every part of the body corresponds to a specific reflex point on the foot. Reflexology is a non invasive therapy that can bring about relaxation. Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.
There is some suggestion that reflexology may aid:
Migraine
Stress-Related Conditions
Hormonal Imbalances
Sleep Disorders
Back Pain
Many people use Reflexology as a way of relaxing the mind and body. It is also used to counteract stress and some doctors, consultants and other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well-established, respected and effective therapy. It must be made clear that Reflexologists cannot cure, diagnose or prescribe and each session of reflexology works on an individual basis.
On the initial visit the reflexology practicioner will discuss your present and past health and lifestyle. Then the therapy will begin with the application of pressure to the feet. A treatment can last upto an hour and a course of treatments may be recomended depending on your body’s needs.
