Why Reflexology

​

The science of Reflexology is based on neurological and physiological connections. It is an effective, gentle, holistic healing technique. Each specific and precise pressure point to the feet interacts with all body parts, opening up the pathways that physically connect to the rest of the body and help calm the mind.

​

We are bombarded with the stresses created by the rush of daily life. The body is subjected to all kinds of toxins and chemicals by what we consume and those absorbed through the skin. The result builds up over time and puts a strain on the natural healing process. It can create unhealthy pathogens making us feel physically drained and unwell. Reflexology can gently release these blockages and along with a healthy diet and exercise help keep us in good health physically and mentally, building a more effective immune system.

 

Energy is the basis for all life and we all have our own Energy Vibration. It can be influenced by life's effect and other energy's around us, so it is important to keep a healthy well being.

​

The body is an amazing energy field, and has 12 meridian energy pathways circulating through the body. There are 6 which penetrate the major organs and can be found in the feet. The reflexology treatments helps clear any blockages along the meridian to encourage the balance flow of energy resulting in a calm and peaceful feeling.

​

Relaxation and meditation are vital for our piece of mind, and reflexology, massage, and healing are essential to put our mind body and soul back into balance.

History of Reflexology

​

The construction of the foot forms the base of our foundation from which the alignment of joint functions can displace the centre of gravity. The feet are subjected to poor circulation, calluses, bunions and deformed toe joints not helped by the wearing of incorrect footwear and heavy wear and tear. Other parts of the body are impacted from the feet and ankles which overcompensate and stress the knees, leg and calf muscles causing pain right through to back problems. We are all subject to this generally and over time as we grow older. 

 

Ancient practitioners understood the importance of working with the body as a whole to balance our anatomy with their holistic practices.

 

Reflexology Therapy is a massage treatment technique to points in the hands and feet to  release toxins.

​

Reflexology was adapted from Ancient Egyptians and Ancient Chinese where by they used a natural healing process by way of medicine through massage.

​

Disease is generated by a combination of circumstances inside and outside the body. Negative thoughts and emotions restrict the free flow of these energies, which cause blockages and could manifest as disease if not corrected. A positive attitude has ben widely accepted as a major step to a healthy body.
