What is reflexology?

 

Reflexology is an effective form of foot massage based on the principle that the "reflex points" in the foot correspond to each organ in the body. The feet are a mini map/mirror the body. The left foot will represent that left side of the body while the right foot respresents the right side. If you have an illness or there is an imbalance in the body, the energy channels can become blocked. Reflexology can help to destroy these blockages and bring the body back to its natural balance.

 It must be remembered that reflexology can never cure but it can ease painful joints or just be used as a method of helping you to relax.

When have a reflexology session you may be asked to fill in a questionnaire. This is private and confidential between you and the reflexologist. It will only be asked to understand you better and find out if you have any underlying problems or areas that need to be worked on more or even avioded. Some medical conditions will require permission from a doctor before reflexology can go ahead and under certain circumstances, reflexology is not advised, or must be kept to a shorter length of time.
