Reflexology is a complementary therapy that can work on its own or alongside more conventional treatments. Essentially reflex points on the feet correspond to all the glands, organs and parts of the body and by precisely working these reflex points the whole body may be treated. Reflexology restores the body’s natural balance by stimulating its systems to work more effectively, e.g. the immune system, the digestive system.

 

A typical treatment lasts 50-60 minutes and begins with gentle stretching and relaxing techniques on the feet, followed by precise thumb and finger walking on the top and bottom of both feet. Firm pressure is used therefore the treatment is not usually ticklish.

 

In addition to the feet, reflexology can also be carried out on the face, hands or ears.

Reflexology is a good way to relax and help you cope with the stress of everyday life as well helping at times of low health.
