This is a gentle form of natural healing especially recommended for those who find it difficult to relax.
Reflexology is a wonderful headling therapy which uses pressue massage to the feet. The feet have reflex points which correspond to every part of the body. Working these reflexes promotes deep relaxation allowing the body and mind to rest and return to a state of balance.
A reflexology treatment stimulates the body's own healing system which can help overcome a wide variety of health problems, it is also deeply relaxing.
This is a holistic therapy; treating the whole person not just an ailment of illness.
Each foot has 28 bones, 107 ligaments and 33 muscles and thousands of nerve endings.
Reflexology works to relax muscle tension and increase circulations to the body. It is a drugless therapy and a good reflexologist can achieve a deep state of relaxation during an hours treatment and when you are very deeply relaxed you cannot be stressed!
Mind, body and spirit are all inter-connected as reflexology is a holistic treatment all levels of your being are effected.
Reflexology is as old as time. The Japanese, Chinese, Russsians and Egyptians all worked on the feet to promote good health. Reflexology is based on similar idea's to acupunture and acupressure, ie 'zone therapy' because everyone of your reflex points lies within a certain 'zone' or'meridian'.
These zones are also called 'energy pathways'.
Reflexology is able to assist the body to heal itself and is also able to complement other types of health care.
It can help everyone - from the very young to the elderly.
I like to call it 'Healing Touch Treatment'.
