REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a specific pressure technique applied to the feet. Performed in a semi-reclined position – only shoes and socks need to be removed. Reflexology begins with a massage to warm up and relax the feet and ankles. Then, using thumbs and fingers, the Therapist works around the feet and ankles. Reflexology ends with a soothing foot massage, leaving feet feeling warm, relaxed and soft.

Reflexology dates back to ancient civilisations and is based on the principles that the organs, glands and systems of the body are reflected in miniature on the feet and that energy flows through the body in 10 longitudinal zones. Specific pressure techniques are applied to the feet, which can help initiate and accelerate balance in the corresponding area of the body. There are over 7000 nerve endings around the feet and ankles and reflexology aims to stimulate as many of these as possible.

Reflexology can bring about the same sensations of relaxation as a full body massage.

Benefits have been reported from sufferers of MS, ME, PMS, sciatica, sinusitis, digestive disorders, asthma, arthritis, back pain, gynaecological disorders, relief of aches and pains.

Many clients say they feel like they are “Walking on Air” after reflexology.

Mrs J Eckhardt, Lincolnshire
“I had a lot of pain in my toes. After the first reflexology treatment my toes moved better than they had in ages. The next day, the pain just went in my feet and they felt fantastic. I also felt revitalised.”

Mrs D Bolderson, Epworth
“I came for my first reflexology session full of scepticism, although a friend had recommended it to me. I could not believe that it could do any 'real good'. However, after my first session I was just so wonderfully relaxed. I slept really well for the first time in a long time, and felt just a sense of general well-being that I had not felt before. I still don't know how it works; I just know that it does for me.”
