It is a natural healing
science based on applying pressure to minute reflex points on
the feet and hands, thereby creating a stimulating effect throughout
the whole body, enabling the body to heal itself. Following stress,
injury or disease, the body is in a state of 'imbalance' and vital
energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning
effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the
body's natural balance and encourage healing.
The Egyptians used
this science in 2500 BC Certain Indian & African tribes believed
in the healing potential of the feet and today it is a very revived
and beneficial therapy.
Reflexology induces
deep relaxation and reduces physical and emotional stress, improves
circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, revitalises
energy, balances the whole system, helps with conditions such
as stress, fatigue, back problems, eye, neck and other shoulder
strains, hormonal imbalances, depression etc. to name a few, but
the benefits of Reflexology are endless.
A Reflexologist uses
hands only pressure to the feet, for each person the application
and effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive trained hands can
detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working
on these points the Reflexologist can release blockages and restore
the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased,
and circulation and elimination are improved. This gentle therapy
encourages the body to heal itself, often counteracting a lifetime
of misuse.
