What is Reflexology and how can it help me?

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy that embraces the whole concept of holistic treatment.  It is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands, ears and face which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body.  Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, messages are sent along the nerve pathways and this helps to balance the energies within the body.  Reflexology is not a modality for diagnosing or treating a specific condition, it simply encourages the body to heal itself naturally.

It can help you with:  Stress related conditions, digestive problems, hormonal issues, circulation problems, sleep disorders, sinus problems, pregnancy discomfort and delivery, conception difficulties, back pain, migraines, headaches, excema, skin conditions, bone and joint pain and is a great means for detoxification.

Some basic biology...

There are more than 7,200 nerve endings in each of the feet which have extensive interconnections through the spinal cord and brain with all areas of the body. The feet are under constant physical pressure, tension and stress through friction and repeated trauma seen to cause blockages that impinge on muscles and nerves. A reflexology session seems to break up deposits of toxic by-products. Scar tissue, pooling of lymph fluid, corns, and callouses can also create internal and external “blockages” defined as “physical obstructions” causing imbalance and resulting in dis-ease.
