Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part, gland, and organ of the body.
Through application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology:
- Relieves tension
- Improves circulation
- Helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy embracing the whole concept of holistic treatment. The hands, and feet are microcosms of the body.
By stimulating the nerve endings in the hands, and feet, we send messages along the nerve pathways to the various organs. Thus we stimulate and communicate with the nerve network to the body.
This helps to balance the energies within the body. We are not diagnosing or treating a specific condition, we are treating an existing imbalance in the energy of the body. There are few other therapies that treat the whole body in such a gentle, non-invasive manner which have no adverse side-effects. We simply encourage the body to heal itself.
This is nature’s gift to mankind.
There are more than 7,200 nerve endings in each of the feet which have extensive interconnections through the spinal cord and brain and all areas of the body.
