Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet that correspond to every part, gland, and organ of the body. During treatment, pressure is applied to all reflex points to assist in bringing the body back to balanceā¦in other words restoring health.
The benefits of reflexology include:
Relaxation
Pain reduction
Amelioration of symptoms for health concerns
Rejuvenation of tired feet
Improvement in blood flow
Impact on physiological measures (e. g. blood pressure and cholesterol; measurements by ECG, EEG, and fMRI)
Beneficial for post-operative recovery and pain reduction
Enhancement of medical care (e. g. cancer, phantom limb pain, and hemodialysis patients)
Adjunct to mental health care (e. g. depression, anxiety, Post traumatic stress disorder)
Complement to cancer care (pain, nausea, vomiting, anxiety)
Easier birthing / delivery / post-partum recovery
Reflexology is an extremely effective treatment. The basis of it relates to "reflex points" on the sole of the foot. These "points" coincide with each organ and system in the body and are linked to those organs by "energy channels", "zones" or "meridians". When illness, or imbalance, occurs the corresponding "energy channels" become blocked. Reflexology Massage aims to remove these blocks, thus allowing the energy to flow freely again
