Reflexology is a deeply relaxing treatment that stimulates pressure points on the feet that connect to the whole of the body. The treatment is an excellent way to de-stress and many clients fall asleep during the treatment.
Reflexology was originally used as an anaesthetic in ancient Greece prior to operations and has a very soothing effect on the body and mind. The treatment is based on the ancient Chinese theory that energy is flowing through pathways in our bodies and Reflexology can help to keep these energy channels clear and support the body to heal from illness.
Many clients opt for Reflexology for its relaxing and restorative benefits and it also helps with a wealth of health issues, especially stress related ones. Anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, back pain and muscular tension, migraines and circulatory problems are all common conditions that clients come with for Reflexology treatments. Reflexology can also help with all stages of pregnancy; from conception problems right through to over-due babies. There are many points on the foot that can help to release tension throughout the body and stimulate the labour process. I have had several incidences with pregnant clients where birth has come very soon after a treatment!
