Reflexology
Reflexology works on the principle that the whole physical body is mapped out, in miniature, on your feet and is suitable for people of all ages. The result of this natural therapy is deeply relaxing and promotes a sense of wellbeing.
Key Facts
​
While it is only necessary to take your shoes and socks/tights off, comfortable clothing is essential to aid your relaxation. The treatment is performed in a reclined position under a cozy blanket.
​
Interesting facts about the feet – there are approximately 250,000 sweat glands in the feet, and they can excrete as much as half a pint of moisture each day. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and tendons. There are over 7,000 nerves so its not surprising that they are the target/source of many aches and pains.
HISTORY
​
Reflexology is an ancient art that encompasses the healing of the mind, body and soul, simply through the gentle massage of feet.
Reflexology is well known and well regarded as a complementary therapy. Reflexology has ancient roots in many cultures, and there is evidence of some form of foot and hand therapy being practiced in Ancient Egypt, China and India as far back as 5000B.C. Gentle manipulation of pressure points (reflexes) has a subtle but powerful effect on the body. It is believed that nerve impulses are sent through 10 zones (meridians) of the body, clearing energy blockages and directly stimulating 'sluggish' systems and organs to restore/achieve a better level of functioning within the body.
