What is Reflexology?

Specific areas of the feet are reflex points to all organs and stuctures of the body.

By stimulating these reflex areas, healing is stimulated in the corresponding part of the body. Reflexology understands that many health concerns are due to blockages in the flow of energy or Qi through pathways in the body, and from a slowing down of biochemical reactions within the cells. This leads to imbalances and disharmony in the internal environment and the development of health conditions.

By stimulating specific reflex points, chemical reactions are speeded up, encouraging the bodies natural healing processes. Energy blockages are released, aiding the flow of energy. Balance within the body is restored and healing takes place.

Reflexology can be of benefit to many health conditions. It understands that the body works as one and that all systems of the body are connected and effect each other.

One of the major cause of an internal imbalance is stress. Reflexology not only helps address the results of stress, but as a deeply relaxing treatment, it treats and helps relieve stress itself.

In pregnancy, many health concerns are due to all the hormonal changes taking place. By helping to balance the hormonal system, symptoms can be eased. Aches and pains such as backache and discomfort around the hips can be helped by stimulating specific reflex points.
