Reflexology
Reflexology
is thought to have developed 5000 years ago in China, where pressure therapies
were used to correct energy imbalances in the body. In the 1930’s the therapy
was introduced to the west by an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, Dr William
Fitzgerald. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body may be in a
state of ‘imbalance’. Reflexology involves small massage movements to the
reflex points on your feet or hands. These reflex areas correspond to all parts
of your body. Reflexology is a holistic therapy and works to bring about
balance and general improvements in the health of the whole person rather than
just treating the symptoms alone.
Reflexology is usually carried out on the feet but, depending on what we find during the first treatment & what the aim of the treatments are, we will also work on the reflex points found on the hands & ears as it has been found that you can at times get a greater response when the three are work together.
Some conditions that can benefit from this treatment include menstrual/ menopausal problems, PMT, back problems, insomnia, stress & stress related conditions, IBS & arthritis to name a few.
A Reflexology session lasts approx 50-60 minutes your initial session will include a consultation.
