Reflexology– a gently calming and balancing therapy

Reflexology is an ancient therapy practiced for over 5000yrs but introduced to the western world only about 100yrs ago. Reflexology is based on the theory that different areas of the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond to the different organs and systems of the body.

How does reflexology work?

The feet are linked to all parts of the body in various ways including through the reflex areas, nervous system and acupuncture channels and points. Using finger pressure on the feet in a systematic way calms the nervous system, promotes blood circulation and moves Qi. Qi and blood are meant to flow freely through the channels and vessels of the body and when there is restriction of flow various health problems can occur. Using their hands, reflexologists apply pressure to the reflex areas to improve health and promote well-being.

If you are suffering from a challenging health condition that has a stress component then you may benefit from the relaxing and calming effects of reflexology.
