Reflexology

The art of reflexology, which involves a specific kind of massage to the feet, is a completely natural and enjoyable treatment. It is based upon a system of reflex points in the feet which correspond to different parts of the body, and through massage these are stimulated, thereby activating healing processes in the corresponding areas.

To experience reflexology is deeply relaxing and an ideal way to combat the tensions and stresses of everyday life. As well as stress, examples of the many specific conditions which may be helped include:

• Headaches & migraine
• PMT
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Back & neck pain
• Eczema
• Allergies
• Digestive disorders
• Arthritis
• Oedema

It can be used preventatively, as the practitioner is able to detect imbalances before a symptom might arise, and work on re-balancing the system, thus aiding the maintenance of good health.
