What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-invasive health therapy that can help to create a state of deep relaxation to improve wellbeing. With ancient Chinese, Indian and Egyptian origins, the practice is based around the theory that different points on the feet, lower legs, hands, face or ears correlate with other areas of the body.  By applying pressure to these points, a trained reflexology practitioner can rebalance these areas by manipulating the body’s natural energy channels. Reflexology is built on the holistic belief that every part of the body is interconnected in some way.

Reflexology is growing more and more popular in the Western world as we all live such fast-paced lives, which can be very stressful at times and this is a great, deeply calming and powerful therapeutic treatment that can quickly relax, rebalance, & restore the whole body back to optimal health.

Unlike some other treatments, reflexology works with you as a whole person, rather than just your symptoms alone. This means that the benefits you experience have a huge impact on you as a whole, rather than on specific areas within your body. Moreover, it can help reach places where regular massage and other treatments can’t provide treatment for.

Even if you’re a generally healthy person you can still find immense benefits from having a treatment as it addresses any imbalances no matter how small within the body, creating perfect conditions for the body to heal itself back to an optimum level. 

As reflexology will make you feel more relaxed it enables you to sleep better, leaving you feeling more energised. With this feeling of a greater overall sense of wellbeing, it can make you a much happier person. Many people suffering from depression use reflexology to help their condition.

Reflexology can also combat pain and discomfort caused by digestion problems while alleviating many symptoms that occur during peri-menopause and menopause.

It also aims to boost circulation and helps to remove toxins from your body. 

These are just some of the many benefits you can experience from this amazing therapy.

This is always dependent on each individual's circumstances. 

Some clients who are fit and well may just want to book in for a solitary session if they have no health care concerns and just want a relaxing spa-like treatment to rest and recharge their body.

Others may want to have a few regular sessions close together, to address any health issues they may be suffering from. Once they’ve started to see a noticeable difference, I recommend they have monthly maintenance sessions with me to keep them feeling the best they can.

Regular reflexology sessions are a great way for you to take some time out for yourself; whilst at the same time helping you to restore your body back to its natural balance.  When your body is feeling its best, your body is less stressed and less prone to becoming unwell.

Whatever you decide is the best frequency for having your reflexology sessions – a one-off, once a month or once a year – your mind and body are going to love the relaxation and other benefits that it brings!
