Reflexology is a holistic therapy where the reflexologist uses her hands to apply pressure techniques to specific points on the feet (or hands) called reflex points. These reflex points directly relate to all areas of the body that are mapped out on the feet.
Reflexology works by rebalancing the body allowing the body to work more efficiently and restore its equilibrium.
It is a gentle therapy that is suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly and terminally ill.
Reflexology is being recognised more by health care professionals and doctors as beneficial to their patients and is being incorporated into areas within the NHS such as palliative care and maternity.
Many people turn to reflexology at times of stress but it has also been shown to be effective for many other conditions including:
Muscular and Skeletal Pain - Back, Neck, Sports Injuries etc.
Arthritis
Headaches, Migraine
Womens Health - PMT, Menopause, Infertility, Maternity
Hormonal Imbalances
Sleep Disorders
Digestive Disorders - Constipation, IBS etc.
Circulation Problems
Each of the different coloured areas relate to a different part of the body....According to a reflexologist that came and gave a lecture whilst I was doing my degree...your feet are a very indepth and accurate set of medical notes. A properly trained reflexologist will be able to pick up on all major illnesses and weaknesses that you have suffered throughout your life and that you body may have. I'm definately up for giving it a go...Roll on January
