Reflexology is a non-invasive form of treatment where the practitioner works with her thumbs to massage all areas of the feet (and sometimes hands). In this way she covers all the reflex areas, each of which corresponds to a part of the body. By massaging specific areas, the Reflexologist deduces which parts of the body are out of balance and works to redress this balance and return the body to a state of homeostasis.
As well as treating ill-health, Reflexology helps maintain good health and promotes a pro-active approach to one’s own well-being. Early detection of potential problems allows preventative measures to be taken, whilst the alleviation of existing symptoms and the possibility of treating them make this an increasingly sought-after therapy. Many NHS establishments and hospices now provide it for their patients. Reflexology aims to eliminate toxins from the body, achieve balance and harmony, and treat medical conditions such as:
allergies
back problems
menstrual problems
menopausal problems
high blood pressure
PMT/ PMS
sciatica
hay fever
sinusitis
asthma
arthritis
migraine
irritable bowel syndrome
stress related problems
infertility
Above all, Reflexology is a pleasurable and immensely relaxing treatment. So many people these days suffer stress, tension and are unable to relax: it is well documented that this can lead to ill-health. So few of us make time to put ourselves first and, in our busy and demanding lives, the Reflexologist offers you an opportunity to unwind, as well as giving your body a chance to work more efficiently to alleviate symptoms of disease.
