Reflexology involves a method of treatment using massage to reflex areas on the hands and feet. These areas correspond to different parts of the body, the whole body being mapped out in the feet.

A reflexologist can therefore treat the whole body, not only symptoms but also the causes of symptoms. Following examination of the feet and taking a medical history a reflexologist will apply a firm pressure (making allowances for individual sensitivity) to different points on the feet mainly using the thumb. Points on the feet corresponding to out of balance areas of the body may feel slightly uncomfortable or tender and the degree of tenderness indicates the degree of imbalance.

By trained interpretation and applying the correct pressure the reflexologist will treat the imbalances found. In general reflexology is a very pleasant experience, can be beneficial for many disorders, for maintaining the bofy in good health and is also a very relaxing therapy.

Always consult a fully qualified Reflexologist.
