What is Reflexology?
In the ancient healing art of Reflexology the feet are a microcosm of the whole body. By stimulating the nerve endings in the feet we send a neurochemical impulse to every organ, gland and system in the body.
Who can benefit from Reflexology?
Reflexology can help
- Release accumulated toxins in the body, whether due to poor diet, lack of exercise, environmental toxins or medications
- Release deep stress and body tensions
- Improve foot mobility and flow of blood/lymph
- Regulate sleeping patterns
- Bring about a natural balance to the body, such as in the relief of digestive disorders (i.e.constipation and irritable bowel) or hormonal conditions (i.e. thyroid, PMS, menopause)
- Alleviate headache or sinus pain
- Manage chronic conditions (e.g. arthritis and asthma)
- Stimulate the body's immune system and promote immunity and self-healing
