Reflexology

About

Reflexology is a specialised form of massage applied to reflex points on the feet or (less commonly) the hands. The reflex points correspond to all of the body’s organs, systems and parts. By massaging the feet, the therapist is able to stimulate the corresponding areas in the body and release blockages in the flow of subtle energy (caused by illness, stress, pain, worry, emotional upset, poor diet, toxins, etc). This promotes overall health and well-being.

What to expect

After removing any footwear you recline comfortably on a massage couch. As your feet are massaged you begin to relax deeply and let go of tension. Occasionally you may notice some slight tenderness at certain reflex points which is a sign of energetic blockage in the corresponding area of the body. The therapist will give extra attention to these points in order to release the congestion.

Benefits

Reflexology has a calming and grounding effect on the body and the mind, naturally reducing nervous tension and stress. Treatments not only induce a deep state of relaxation but also increase vitality by releasing energy trapped in tense parts of the body. Reflexology improves the circulation of the blood and this facilitates both the better transport of nutrients around the body and waste products to the organs of elimination. Many health problems have been successfully treated by reflexology including: anxiety, sleep problems, PMS, infertility, constipation and IBS, sinusitis, fatigue, headaches and non-specific back pain.
