Reflexology
Reflexology: The practice of applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet that correspond to each and every gland, organ and part of the body. The feet represent a perfect microcosm of the body. The healing effects elicited by massaging the feet are in part, a result of massaging the reflexes which in turn, stimulates the corresponding area of the body, as well as the result of stimulating the 6 meridians found on the feet. These meridians penetrate the major organs of the body - massaging these areas helps clear blockages along the meridians and encourages the vital body energy to flow. Clearly, reflexology is much more than just foot massage!
Reflexology does not diagnose nor cure, but instead acts as an antidote to stress by relaxing the whole body from head to toe, composing the mind and re-energising and balancing the biological systems of the body, on which good health depends.
It is relief of stress that produces the therapeutic benefits of reflexology. So many of today's illnesses are caused by prolonged stress or are stress related. During a reflexology session, stress and tension are reduced and the client becomes more relaxed. Relief is provided throughout all the body's systems e.g. immune, endocrine, digestive, nervous, cardiovascular etc., moving them towards optimal functioning.
This therapeutic relaxation serves to normalise the body's functioning, effectively facilitating the body's healing process and revitalising and enhancing your total health!
