reflexology

Reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt, India and China and is now widely recognized as a natural non-invasive way to optimum health.

It is based on the principle that there are areas of the feet, (also the hands, ears and face) which connect to all parts of the body and that by stimulating these areas or zones, the corresponding organs and body systems will respond.

There are ten zones or energy channels longitudinally within the body. If you imagine a vertical line down the centre of the body from the head to the feet, there are five channels on each half of the body. These are known as meridians or energy channels and the muscles, organs, tissues and nerves are connected through these channels to specific areas of the feet and hands where the energy channels terminate.

Reflexology encourages your body to activate its own innate healing ability, bringing balance to its systems and restoring the flow of energy throughout. Reflexology can be used to help a number of ailments, a few examples are:

• headaches
• digestive problems
• hormonal imbalances
• low energy
• anxiety and stress
