Reflexology

Reflexology is a treatment that applies hand pressure to specific areas of the feet to heal a variety of problems and balance the flow of vital energy throughout the body.

Reflexology is based on the concept of reflex points, located in the feet which correspond to all parts of the body - reflexology practitioners believe that by manipulating these reflex points the whole body can be treated.

Reflexology is preventative health care, and does not replace medical treatment, but is believed to help a whole range of conditions including respiratory infections, headaches, skin problems etc.

Reflexology is primarily a relaxation technique which de stresses and relaxes the body, and can be used in conjunction with other treatments.  With over 7000 nerves in the feet, reflexology can help the body to function more efficiently including those that eliminate waste products.
