What is Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural, holistic treatment that works by activating and supporting the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Reflexology treats the entire person, body and mind – including the brain, where our emotions and thought process contribute to achieving good health and happiness.

The body’s internal organs, glands & systems are stimulated through a complex network of nerve endings found in the feet. Over time, congestion builds up in the form of uric acid (small, crunchy crystals) & tension where these nerves terminate. Reflexology works by ‘manipulating’ pressure points to release tension and break down the crystalline deposits to stimulate a reflex through the nerve to a related organ, or gland in the body to facilitate a healing response.

The benefits of Reflexology have been recorded in Egypt, China, South America and India for over 4500 years.
