Did you know that the whole body is represented on our feet and hands. So a reflexology session is much more than just a foot massage or foot rub (and pedicures are definitely not included!) Reflexology can be carried out on the feet or on the hands, so even if you are sensitive about your feet you can still enjoy and benefit from a reflexology treatment.
Reflexology – what is it?
Reflexology is a holistic complementary therapy dating back to ancient China and Egypt. By using the foot (or hand) as a representation of the whole body, a reflexologist can help to unblock and rebalance energy pathways that have become disturbed and stimulate the body’s own self-healing process. It is achieved by working on specific foot reflex points to breakdown toxins and correct imbalances, thereby restoring the energy flow and creating harmony within the body systems. Reflexology doesn’t cure – only the body can do that – it facilitates healing within the body.
What are the benefits of Reflexology?
As well as being extremely relaxing a reflexology treatment can
- Improves circulation – by stimulating the circulation, facilitating better movement of nutrients and the elimination of waste.
- Stress reduction – it has been estimated that over 75% of illnesses are due to stress. Reflexology can reduce nerve tension by generating deep relaxation, allowing the body to rest and repair itself.
- Relaxation – reflexology provides a deep relaxation, which is the first step towards restoring balance in the body.
- Pain relief – reflexology can have a positive effect on the nervous system by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s own natural pain-relieving agents. Endorphins are known to help raise the mood.
- Facilitates homeostasis – reflexology can help to return the body to a state of balance and harmony by encouraging mind and body to better health. As a holistic therapy, reflexology aims to improve health and well-being by treating the whole body through feet (or hands).
- Revitalisation of energy – by relaxing and opening up the energy pathways in the zones, reflexology can help to clear blockages and revitalise the body with renewed energy.
- Strengthens the immune system – reflexology works to initiate the body’s own healing forces which often become suppressed through illness, stress and medication. Reflexology helps to improve the body’s defences and encourages better immunity. A specifically designed reflexology treatment plan can help you and your body retrieve its balance.
