What is reflexology?

Reflexology is form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet.


How does reflexology work?

The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there “reflex” areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. For example:

l  the tips of the toes reflect the head

l  the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot

l  the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot

l  low back and intestines are towards the heel





What will I feel?


Reflexology shouldn’t be painful. If you feel discomfort, be sure to tell the reflexologist. He of she should work with in your comfort zone.




Why do people get reflexology?

Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore it’s own healthy balance.

Reflexology has been shown to be effective for:

l  Stress and stress-related conditions

l  Tension headaches

l  Digestive disorders

l  Arthritis

l  Insomnia

l  Hormonal imbalances

l  Sports injuries

l  Menstrual disorders, such as PMS

l  Digestive problems, such as constipation

l  Back pain


Who can benefit from reflexology?


While many people use reflexology as a way of relaxing the mind and body and counteracting stress, at the same time many doctors, consultants and other health care professionals recognize reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy.


How will I feel after?


Occasionally, people feel nauseous, anxious, or tearful, but this is transitory and is a part of the healing process.
