Reflexology
Reflexology is a gentle, holistic treatment, suitable for people of all ages. It deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to the glands, organs, parts and systems of the body.
The application of gentle pressure to these reflex areas encourages the body to work naturally to restore and maintain its own healthy equilibrium. It balances the body’s circulatory, endocrine, digestive, excretory and immune systems. It encourages the elimination of toxins, releases endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), reduces stress and revitalises energy.
Whilst stimulating the body’s own healing processes, reflexology detoxifies and cleanses the body as well as bringing about a state of deep relaxation. The immune system is strengthened and this enables the body to fight infection and ill health naturally.
The purpose of reflexology is to promote health and well-being and is used as a means of relaxing the mind and body and counteracting stress. Many doctors, consultants and other health-care professionals recognise reflexology as a well-established, respected and effective therapy. This helpful and relaxing complementary therapy can be a useful adjunct in the treatment of many health conditions such as:
- Back Pain
- Infertility
- Sleep disorders
- Migraine and headaches
- Arthritis
- Circulatory problems
- Eczema
- Anxiety
- Hormonal imbalances
- Sports injuries
- Digestive disorders
- Stress-related conditions
- Sinus problems
- Asthma
- Muscular tension
- Depression
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.
