BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a complementary, holistic therapy based on the principle that there are reflexes on the feet which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body.

Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, face and ears. These points respond to pressure, stimulating the body's own natural healing process.

Reflexology creates physiological, chemical and emotional changes throughout the body. During and after a reflexology treatment, the body begins progressively clearing blockages, re-establishing energy flows and balancing itself, resulting in better health. There are many different styles and approaches used in reflexology, with foot reflexology currently the most popular and proven form, however the basic principle is constant.
