Reflex points are present in the feet (also the hands). These points represent every part of the body. The therapist stimulates the reflex points with therapeutic, firm pressure which activates the corresponding area in the body and so encourages self-healing. As well as balancing the physical body a treatment also affects emotions, mental and spiritual outlook.

Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology works on the whole of the body through reflex points and many health conditions respond favourably. The therapist concentrates on more than just a problem area. The whole body receives a workout.

Here are listed just a few of conditions that respond well to reflexology:

• Stress related disorder
• Digestive problems
• Hormonal disorder
• Circulatory problems
• Muscle and joint problems
• Premenstrual syndrome
• Conception difficulties

In addition a treatment is cleansing (de-toxifyng). It revitalises energy, increases creativity and productivity. It is excellent for maintenance of good health and brings about a feeling of wellbeing.

Reflexology is ideal for manipulation of areas that are too painful to be worked on directly, i.e. severe back pain.
