About Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of healing. There are “reflex” areas on the feet that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a “map” of the body.
Each organ can be found in the foot and worked using various pressures to help the body rebalance and work to its full potential. By working on the reflexes areas in the foot, using thumbs and fingers and specialised massage techniques to the soles, top, and sides of the feet, this can help to correct imbalances throughout the body, and help release blocked energy.
The non-invasive and relaxing nature of this treatment coupled with the fact that only the removal of footwear is necessary makes Reflexology a popular therapy for restoring balance, harmony and a sense of well-being, and stimulates our body’s own healing responses.
