The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it 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 equilibrium and encourage healing. A reflexologist uses hands only to apply gentle pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the 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 is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

Reflexology can be used in the treatment of:

Asthma

Menstrual pain

Stress

Aches and pains

Sinusitis

One of the main benefits of reflexology is relaxation; most people will benefit from this and from a general feeling of well being.

You do not, however, have to be ill to benefit from reflexology. Many people enjoy it as a relaxing way to unwind from the stresses of the day and choose to have a monthly maintenance treatment to maintain the body in its natural state of health helping to prevent the onset of disease.
