Reflexology

According to reflexology, the nerves that carry signals to and from those body parts have representatives in the feet. The heart, for instance, can be addressed by putting pressure on the ball of the left foot. The left foot corresponds with the left side of the body, and the right foot talks to the right side. To get at the pain in the chest, a practitioner would manipulate the center tops of each foot, just below the toes.

Working specific reflex points on the feet improves circulation, lymph flow and cleanses the body of impurities. This will encourage the body to naturally restore its own healthy balance. Reflexology can bring stress relief and relaxation to the mind, body and spirit. The treatment can be pleasurable and extremely relaxing to receive, as well as invigorating and energising.

Reflexology is suitable for all ages, and can bring relief from a range of acute and chronic conditions such as:

• Menopause
• Arthritis
• Migraines, headaches
• Stress related disorders
• Digestive problems
• Hormonal imbalances
• Back pain
