What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears.

These points, known as reflexes, correspond to different organs and systems in the body.

Reflexologists believe that stimulating these reflex points can promote health and well-being throughout the entire body. Reflexology is based on the principle that there are energy zones running through the body, and by manipulating these zones, reflexologists can help restore balance and promote natural healing.

During a reflexology session, the practitioner uses various techniques to apply pressure to the reflex points, often using their thumbs, fingers, and specialised tools. The treatment is generally relaxing and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages. Reflexology can be used to address a wide range of conditions, including stress, anxiety, headaches, digestive issues, and chronic pain. It also aims to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and enhance overall wellness.

Reflexologists conduct thorough assessments to understand their clients' health histories and current conditions. They then create personalised treatment plans that focus on the specific needs of each individual. Reflexology is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments, offering a holistic approach to health and well-being.
