A Short Guide to Reflexoloy

Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet and hands to bring about a state of deep relaxation, stimulate the body’s own healing process and help a person return to a state of balance and well-being.  A reflexology treatment works through each organ, gland and body system. Among the many benefits it can provide are relaxation, pain and stress relief, improved circulation and digestion, stimulation of the immune and nervous systems, and balance for the mind, body and spirit.  Reflexology is a holistic treatment, since the whole person is treated instead of focusing on symptoms in isolation.

Digestive disorders eg Irritable Bowel or acid reflux; migraines; sinus problems; PMS and hormone related problems; pregnancy, fertility and menopause related problems; back and joint pain; and insomnia, are just a few of the conditions reflexology may help to relieve.  Reflexology isn’t an instant wonder cure, and many people who turn to it have chronic conditions which they may have lived with for years.  How quickly you are likely to respond to reflexology can vary enormously.  Very broadly speaking, we would hope to see some improvements in your health and well-being after about 6 sessions, and it is normally advisable to start the course of treatment with weekly treatments where possible.

Treat your body as you would a cherished classic car – show it love and respect, have it MOT’d and serviced regularly, clean it, feed it the best possible fuel, and carry out the appropriate health checks, then it should serve you well for years!
