Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural, holistic therapy that works on the feet and/or hands to balance the whole body.
It is based upon the discovery that there are points on the feet and hands which correspond to 
organs, systems and structures within the entire body. It is this corresponding relationship that is the 'reflex' - that is, a 'reflex' is when stimulation at the point brings about a response in another area or point. Reflexology uses special pressure techniques applied by the therapist to stimulate these points on the hands and feet. This technique allows the therapist to detect imbalances in the tissues, organs and systems of the body and to effectively treat and restore balance and well-being. As a holistic therapy, Reflexology sees the person and their disease as a 'whole'. The person cannot be treated as 'separate parts' but must be understood and treated as whole, as the body, mind, emotions and even the spirit all interact and influence each other.
Reflexology is suitable for all, including babies and children. It can help to alleviate symptoms of diagnosed conditions - from 'one-off' complaints to those conditions which are more chronic. Some examples, but by no means all, are insomnia, migraines, lower back issues, depression, menopausal issues, infertility problems, circulatory conditions, digestive disorders, arthritis, ME, joint conditions and sprains and strains.
Reflexology can be beneficial to us as a means of stress reduction as it induces and promotes relaxation, it improves circulation of both blood and lymphatic systems, it helps the body to remove toxins more efficiently and thereby strenghtens the immune system. It balances and harmonises the body and also stabilises and rebalances any hormonal imbalance within the body. It is deeply relaxing and relieves mental and physical fatigue. The treatment creates a feeling of well-being as endorphins are released, easing pain and soothing the nervous system. Reflexology has also been shown to affect blood pressure by having a normalising effect.
I am trained in 'conventional' Reflexology and in VRT (Vertical Reflexology Therapy) and I bring both techniques together to strengthen and deepen the benefits of this wonderful therapy.
