Reflexology is...

“….a complementary therapy that works on feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself.

Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance”,

and vital energy pathways are blocked,

preventing the body from functioning effectively.

Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain

the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.” AoR 2008

Reflexology is a holistic healing technique, which means that the body is treated as a whole,

concentrating on the root cause rather than on symptoms alone.

It has been used to great effect since ancient times to stimulate the body’s

self-healing ability by applying specific pressure, using fingers and thumbs,

to precise reflex points on the feet,

based on the premise that these

points correspond to all body parts.
