Reflexology
Benefits
Reflexology is used to help soothe physical as well as mental ailments.
It’s a way to find peace and calm mentally, as well as physically. The fact you lie down
for an hour, away from the stresses and strains of everyday life, means reflexology is also
great for settling yourself and finding a way to just ‘be’ in the moment, as well as being
a great way to reboot your system.
It may help to:
-
improve circulation
-
stimulate the nervous system
-
boost the immune system.
-
reduce stress, anxiety and tension
Treatment
Reflexology is a complementary holistic healing therapy that works your whole body system through your feet and also, on occasion, through your hands.
A reflexologist will work along your feet, massaging particular reflex points which have been found to correlate and reflect other areas of the body – so the toes are linked with the head and brain, for instance, and so on.
The idea is that energy points in the feet are revitalised through massage, which relieves tension elsewhere in the body, helping to minimise and ward off pain, discomfort and illness.
Working and massaging congested or ‘crunchy’ points found in the feet may help release tension and pain in the corresponding point in the body, which should help re-balance you.
Treatment lasts approximately 60 minutes.
Probably not the treatment for you if:
You have extremely sensitive feet.
You have open wounds, cuts or any skin conditions such as verrucas, eczema or athletes foot.
You are wanting a full body massage - try the Deep Tissue Massage or Relaxation Massage instead.
