Reflexology is a holistic, non-intrusive complementary therapy using the power of human touch working on hands and feet. The aim of reflexology is to help the body to Relax, Release, Rebalance and Restore itself and achieve a sense of wellness. Harmony between our mind, body and spirit is vital for good health. Any type of stress can upset the body’s balance and cause us to feel unwell. Reflexology aims to help rebalance and restore.

In varying forms and in many cultures reflexology has been in existence for thousands of years. Reflexology is based on the theory that reflex points on the hands and feet reflect different areas of the body. There are over 7000 nerve endings in each foot which can receive and send messages from and to our brain, linking with the whole of our body. Reflexologists believe that by applying pressure and massage to the feet and hands that the flow of circulation, lymph and energy can be improved and areas of tension and congestion can be released. When everything is flowing well and relaxed our bodies work more efficiently and in harmony.

Holding tension and stress in our bodies can have a detrimental effect on our health and well being. Reflexology can encourage deep relaxation, allowing the body to work more efficiently and harmoniously.
