People often ask, what is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a highly effective complementary therapy used to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body's overall well-being.
Reflexology is a wonderfully gentle and deeply relaxing therapy that uses the power of touch on your feet (or hands). Imagine that your feet hold a tiny, beautiful map of your entire body! By applying just the right amount of pressure to specific points on this map, calming and encouraging signals can be sent to all your organs and systems. It’s like giving your whole body a chance to sigh, settle down, and remember how to find its own natural rhythm and balance, leaving you feeling nurtured, rested, and restored. a
Reflexology's roots trace back thousands of years to ancient practices in Egypt and China involving hand and foot therapy for healing the body. The modern form was pioneered in the 20th century by Dr. William Fitzgerald's "Zone Therapy" and meticulously developed by physiotherapist Eunice Ingham, who mapped the entire body onto the feet.
Reflexology can be beneficial for a very wide range of people, particularly those seeking stress reduction and improved overall well-being. In brief, clients who often benefit the most include:
Individuals managing stress or anxiety: It promotes deep relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system.
People with sleep issues: Many find that regular sessions greatly improve sleep quality.
Those experiencing chronic pain or tension: It can help reduce discomfort associated with migraines, back pain, or arthritis.
Clients dealing with digestive or hormonal imbalances: It may support the body's systems, easing symptoms related to IBS or menstrual issues.
Anyone needing a feeling of balance and revitalisation: It's excellent for general health maintenance and a mood boost.
Please Note:
Reflexology does not cure or diagnose medical conditions. I am a professional reflexologist, not a medical doctor.
It is not an alternative to conventional medicine. You must continue any treatment or medication prescribed by your General Practitioner (GP) or specialist.
I believe that Reflexology works wonderfully alongside your medical care to help your body manage stress, which often supports natural healing.
If you have any serious health concerns, please always consult your doctor first. Your safety and health is my top priority.
