Reflexology is an ancient treatment that accesses pressure points on the hands and feet which are believed to map out, and link the organs and systems in the body.  The theory divides the body into zones, connected by meridians.  Treatment is administered by the reflexologist applying pressure to specific foot and hand reflex points and associated meridians.  This application aims to re-balance and boost our own healing potential.

 

A variety of techniques using fingers, thumbs, knuckles and outer edges of the hands applies a comfortable, but deep pressure that improves and unblocks the flow of energy and circulation.  The treatment will leave the client feeling energised but relaxed.  

​

Reflexology is suitable for almost everyone and as a treatment, aims to re-balance the body. It is believed to be stimulating, detoxifying, energizing, improves circulation, stress reducing and helps improve sleep.​

It is important to note that this treatment is not a foot massage and working on congested reflexes can be moderately uncomfortable at times, due to the feet containing more than 6,500 nerve endings.  The reflexologist will always work to your comfort level by regularly checking pressure through feedback.  A suitable pressure is one that is deep enough to have an effect, but comfortable for the client.
