What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a ‘holistic' therapy. It treats the whole person via the feet, bringing all the body systems and energy flow into balance and correcting the negative factors involved in the disease process such as; congestion, inflammation and tension. Reflexology encourages the healing process to begin. The healing power of a hands-on treatment creates an environment through which self-healing can occur.

Preparing for a Treatment

Takes place in an environment with soothing music. It is recommended that the client wear loose, comfortable clothing with easy open access from the knees to the feet and the elbows to the fingers. The therapist evaluates the clients hands and feet and begins to massage and apply pressure to specific points. During or after the treatment, the client may feel relaxed, lethargic, tearful or have a sense of well-being. These variable responses indicate how your body is responding to treatment.
