Reflexology |
Reflexology is a natural therapy that has been used since ancient times to promote healing and bring balance to the body.
The whole body is mapped out in miniature on the feet and the individual areas which represent the organs, glands and systems of the body are referred to as the reflex points.
During a treatment a reflexologist will apply specific massage and pressure point techniques to the reflex points in order to stimulate the body’s own healing powers. In doing so it is thought that energy flow, or the flow of chi, to the area is improved and any areas of congestion that may be hindering optimum function will be broken down and dispersed. It is thought that a reflexology treatment may help to rebalance the body and bring about an improved state of health.
Each reflexology treatment is commenced and completed with a soothing massage of the lower legs and feet which enhances the overall feeling of relaxation that the treatment promotes and relieves any specific tension present in these areas.
Reflexology is thought to assist in the treatment of many different health issues both on a physical and emotional level. Seeing that many of today’s ills are either caused or exacerbated by stress, simply taking an hour out for yourself and experiencing the relaxing balancing effects of a reflexology treatment can bring about an improved sense of wellbeing.
By helping to balance the nervous system and de-stress the body reflexology may help with any condition that is caused or aggravated by tension and stress.
Claire introduced reflexology into her practice shortly after becoming a nutritional therapist as a means of helping people who may not wish to adopt the nutritional therapy route to help with their health issues.
