Reflexology 

 

As with many natural therapies, the origins of Reflexology can be traced back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt, India and China. Yet it wasn’t until the early 1900s that it evolved into what we know as Reflexology, when it was noted that congestion or tension in the foot is mirrored in a corresponding part of the body.

 

Reflexology is a gentle, relaxing treatment, which works to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. It does not cure illness but may relieve symptoms such as Stress-related illness, Digestive Disorders, Back pain, Arthritis, Muscular injuries, Sleep disorders, and Migraine.

 

Many people have regular reflexology treatments for a specific condition, however others use it simply to relax their mind, body and spirit and reduce stress.

 

The medical profession are beginning to recognise the benefits in encouraging us to take responsibility for our own health and well-being and for that reason, Reflexology is one of many ‘alternative’ therapies gaining respect and popularity amongst people of all ages.

 

When you go for a treatment, first of all, your practitioner will have a consultation with you to establish your health record and lifestyle.

 

They will then work on specific ‘reflex’ points on your feet that correspond with a particular organ or system in the body.
