Reflexology is a gentle complementary therapy in which the practitioner applies controlled pressure with thumbs or fingers to specific areas of the feet. It is based on the theory that every part of the body is mirrored in the feet and that tensions and stresses in the body are reflected in the related part of the foot.
Reflexologists do not claim to cure specific illnesses, but to encourage the body's own healing mechanisms to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium.
Reflexology is a therapy which can be enjoyed by most people seeking relaxation and the benefits of nurture through touch. More specifically, it can be effective for:
- Pain
- Migraine
- Sleep disorders
- Digestive disorders
- Hormonal imbalances
- Stress-related conditions
