Reflexology

Reflexology is a wonderful treatment to have. It involves removing just your shoes and socks and relaxing on a treatment couch while you are treated. Your feet will be massaged and pressure points worked on.

Reflexology works on the principles of unblocking energy channels by working on stimulating the reflex points on the feet through massage movements and pressure points using the thumbs and fingers. The feet are divided into separate zones that may represent the body’s organs, glands and systems.

The Chinese believe that energy flows around the body. This is known as ‘Chi’ or the life force. When this energy flows freely, the body is in balance and harmony.  If it becomes blocked, they believe that this may cause illness.

Imbalances may be found by tender or painful areas in the foot and worked on by the therapist to help the body to correct and heal itself.

The many benefits of Reflexology can include

• A true sense of well-being
• Improved circulation
• A stronger immune system
• Reduced stress levels
• Increased energy levels
• The body releasing endorphins which are the body’s feel good hormones.  These can also help with pain relief
• Reduced stress levels
• A more efficient removal of toxins
