Reflexology has its origins in China and ancient Egypt. It is a safe non invasive treatment predominantly of the feet but can be practiced on the hands and ears. Reflexology is recognised world wide for its effectiveness; it brings deep relaxation and balance to the whole body. The Chinese believe that the feet, hands and ears mirror the body and that the reflex points correspond to each organ and structure, by way of meridians or energy channels. These energy channels can become blocked due to illness, stress, incorrect posture. The application of pressure to certain areas of the foot etc. can relieve tension and pain in corresponding areas of the body. The aim of the treatment is to reduce congestion, inflammation and tension through stimulating the body’s natural pain killing endorphins. This can improve blood circulation aiding the removal of toxins, reduce stress and rebalance the body as a whole.
