What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a science based on the principle that reflexes or areas of the feet, hands and other parts of the body relate to the internal organs and other structures in the body. Through the skilful application of pressure to specific points in the feet, hands and ears, reflexology helps to achieve balance in the body.
Practised in diverse cultures for centuries, reflexology is much more than a foot massage. For either preventative care or in response to physical or emotional distress, reflexology creates physical changes that can bring about balance, ease and healing.

We have over 7,000 nerve endings on the soles of our feet, making them quite sensitive and responsive to reflexology treatments.
If you are stressed, overworked or injured, a reflexologist can send a calm and intentional message to the nervous system by skilfully touching the feet. Reflexology uses the innate healing powers of the body to heal itself. Reflexology promotes relaxation and letting go of tension. Beyond relaxation, reflexology improves circulation, boosting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and other tissues.
Reflexology speeds up the elimination of waste products and lactic acid. Muscle, tension and soreness is reduced and healing time for injuries or illness is decreased. Immune function, skin tone and the ability to concentrate also improve when circulation is increased.
