Benefits of reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy that promotes balance and homeostasis in the whole body. It increases relaxation, improves well being, mood and sleep.

How does it work?
Based on the theory that reflex points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body, healing in the body is encouraged by applying pressure to these reflex points.

Evidence of reflexology techniques date back to ancient times in India, Egypt, Asia, Tibet, Japan and China. It is believed that pressure applied:

to lymph nodes rids the body of toxins via the lymphatic system
to nerve endings in the feet reduces pain elsewhere, as nerves in the feet communicate with nerves in the brain via the central nervous system
works out trapped deposits in the feet, believed to be calcium crystals, resulting in improved blood circulation
improves energy flow in meridian energy pathways around the body (based on Traditional Chinese Medicine).

What to expect

A truly relaxing experience, switch off, sit back and let the tension ease away. During a treatment, you may lie on a couch or sit on a chair, with a cosy blanket and cushions for extra comfort. The room will be warm with dimmed lighting and soft background music playing. The treatment is carried out on bare feet. Gentle pressure is applied which can be increased depending on an individual’s preference. Some areas may be tender or feel ‘crunchy’ during the treatment and this may indicate an imbalance in a corresponding body part. It is safe to have Reflexology in combination with orthodox medical care and other complementary therapies. Reflexology is suitable for all ages.

Prior to a treatment a full consultation will take place which will enable
the therapist to tailor a treatment plan specific to individual needs.
