Reflexology is an ancient healing tradition which has been traced back 5000 years.
The word reflex means ‘to reflect’ and so foot reflexology is the study of the reflexes in the feet. When these pressure points are massaged, a reaction occurs in the corresponding parts of the body promoting relaxation and healing.
Reflexology works at the physical, mental and emotional levels- naturally stimulating the person’s own healing energy.
The body is divided into 10 zones which travel from the head to the fingers & toes. Stress, toxins and illness create blockages in these zones inhibiting the flow of energy. These blockages are evident in the corresponding reflex points of the feet as tiny crystals in the nerve endings. Massaging these congested reflexes, using various techniques, dissolves the crystals. This clears the blockages allowing the flow of energy to be restored and brings the body back into its natural state of balance.
