About Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy where the reflexologist uses her hands to apply pressure techniques to specific points on the feet (or hands) called reflex points. These reflex points directly relate to all areas of the body that are mapped out on the feet.
Reflexology works by rebalancing the body allowing the body to work more efficiently and restore its equilibrium.
It is a gentle therapy that is suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly and terminally ill.
Reflexology is being recognised more by health care professionals and doctors as beneficial to their patients and is being incorporated into areas within the NHS such as palliative care and maternity.
Many people turn to reflexology at times of stress but have also found they benefit for many other conditions including:
