Reflexology is a
complementary medicine that studies the relationship of the reflex
points of the feet (hands and ears) to the rest of the body. The formation of this Body Map, linking the reflex points to body areas, enables the
Practitioner to locate problematic imbalances or disorders and treat
accordingly. By stimulating these points on the feet, using gentle
thumb pressures and hand movements, all areas of the body can be
treated, addressing not only prevailing symptoms but also underlying,
chronic conditions.
This gentle therapy restores and maintains the body's
natural equilibrium encouraging the body to heal itself, often
counteracting a lifetime of misuse - following illness, stress,
injury or disease.
The treatment releases
blockages and restores the free flow of Qi (vital energy) to the
whole body: tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is
improved. For each person the application and the effect of the
therapy is unique.There are 70,000 nerve
endings in each foot which, if properly stimulated, can send messages
through the nervous system to all areas of the body and brain. The
foot reflex zones are five to 20 times more sensitive than the organs
themselves.
Since Reflexology treats
the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease, most people
benefit from this treatment: its use has effectively and successfully
treated a wide number of disorders and conditions, such as:
Menopausal symptoms, Premenstrual syndrome, Stress / Anxiety, Sinus problems, Insomnia, Digestive disorders, Hormonal imbalances, Circulatory conditions, Migraine / Headaches, Post-operative pain /
nausea, Sciatica.
