Reflexology

​

Reflexology is a natural therapeutic method based on the principle that reflexes located on the feet, hands and ears provide a microcosm or 'map'  of the entire body and that each 'mapped' reflex relates specifically to its corresponding part, gland, or organ of the body.  Scientific studies have shown that through application of pressure on these reflexes, Reflexology can:

• Relieve tension • Improve circulation • Support the body’s efforts to function optimally •.

 

  Why does Reflexology Work?

​

The body has the intrinsic ability to heal itself. However, following illness, injury, stress or disease, the body retreats into a state of imbalance, blocking vital energy pathways and this can prevent or slow healing. Reflexology can help restore balance to the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the person as a whole.
