The ancient art of reflexology

Reflexology is a deeply relaxing and energising holistic therapy which treats the whole person rather than just the symptoms of disease.  It is based on the principle that the body is divided into ten equal and vertical zones ending in the fingers and toes. The body is often in a state of imbalance, particularly after illness, injury or periods of stress, with these vital energy pathways blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively.   

The aim of reflexology is to release any blockages and restore the free flow of energy and blood circulation to the whole body.  To achieve this a specific massage technique is applied to reflex areas in the feet (and sometimes the hands) which correspond to tissues, organs and systems throughout the entire body.  Stimulating these reflexes encourages the body to heal itself, restoring and maintaining natural equilibrium, as well as promoting relaxation and a general sense of well being.
