What is Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-intrusive holistic complementary therapy based on the theory

that different points and areas of the feet, lower leg, hands, face and ears

correspond with different areas of the body.

​

Reflexology is an ancient therapy which has been practiced for over 5000 years

and it is believed that working these points or reflexes, can help aid relaxation,

improve mood, release tension, enhance sleep and may generally help improve

wellbeing; allowing us to cope better with the stresses that life can bring.

​

​

​

​

In everyday life there are a number of things that create toxins in our bodies

including, stress, poor diet, disease, smoking, alcohol, caffeineair pollution etc.

These toxins build up and form deposits of crystalline uric acid  which resemble

tiny grains of sand within the feet, concentrating themselves in the areas

of corresponding problems in the body.

​

During a reflexology treatment, these deposits are broken down and reflex areas stimulated.

The body will enter a detox period after each reflexology treatment, where these toxins

will be flushed away, allowing the body's energy channels to clear

and natural equilibrium to rebalance and flow un-congested.

 

It is essential that you drink plenty of water after each treatment 

to help this process of natural healing and to restore homeostasis

within the body.
