Reflexology
The Treatment
Reflexology, being a holistic therapy, is able to treat the whole person: body, mind and spirit. By using the body’s own natural healing processes many health problems may be alleviated by having reflexology:
- Headaches/migraine
- Back problems/Neck pain
- Menstrual/menopausal
- Stress/Insomina
- Digestive disorders
- Allergies/asthma/eczema
- Respiratory problems
- Circulatory problems
What are the benefits?
Reflexology may be beneficial for the health problems listed above but can also help, not only with the physical aspects of our lives but the emotions too. Having regular reflexology can be useful for relaxing both the mind and the body. By keeping the body/mind relaxed and balanced I can help you cope with any condition affecting the body.
How does it work?
By applying pressure to the reflex points in the foot, the corresponding parts of the body are stimulated, alleviating congestion and inflammation, improving nerve and blood supply and, therefore, restoring a homeostasis balance to the body. Reflexology also promotes deep relaxation and a sense of well-being.
It is especially helpful for any stress related problem. One result of having too much stress is a depletion of our immune system which may result in us suffering from ailments and illness more often. Regular Reflexology treatments may prevent this from happening as this will encourage the body to restore to its own healthy balance.
