An Ancient and Natural Therapy

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient and natural therapy which works on the basis that points on the feet and hands relate to parts of the body. These points are called reflexes and each reflex corresponds to an organ, structure or system within the body. By using special massage and pressure techniques a reflexologist can disperse congestion which builds up in certain areas on the foot or hand and in turn help to alleviate problems within the body itself.

Reflexology is usually carried out on the feet but the hands can be equally beneficial especially if it is uncomfortable for the feet to be treated. It is a natural and holistic therapy, that is to say, the mind body and spirit are treated rather than just the presenting symptoms.

Used since ancient times, it can have an extremely relaxing effect  and can be used to help a number of problems or simply as relaxation and ‘time out’ from the stresses of daily life.
