Reflexology

Reflexology is a very well - researched technique, designed to directly address and negate the effects of stress in the body through inducing deep relaxation. It can either be used by itself, or as a complement to other treatments.  It’s based on the principle that all organs, glands and other body structures are able to be positively impacted by stimulating specific nerve endings (reflexes) in the feet, hands and ears. It is non- invasive, and only involves the use of finger and thumb pressure on the target areas.  

 

How Reflexology can help:  Because it supports every system in the body, it’s benefits are considerable.  Regular Reflexology treatments have been shown to improve circulation, relieve physical and psychological stress and tension, reduce inflammation and improve energy.

 

It has proven supportive effects for : Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Pain, Digestive disorders, Fertility, Pregnancy, Labour, Menstrual disorders, Menopause, Sleep difficulties, Respiratory disorders, Headaches, Diabetes, Arthritis, Fatigue and more. It can also be used to support those experiencing side effects of cancer treatment or disorders of the immune system.

 

Generally, 4 treatments one week apart are recommended to kickstart the process of negating physical or mental stress. After that another two treatments about a fortnight apart to support the newly established equilibrium and thereafter a monthly “maintenance” treatment if at all possible.
