Clinical Reflexology
So much more than a foot massage.
Clinical Reflexology is not just a foot massage, but a technique of applying accupressure to the never endings on the feet to stimulate the body and induce healing. Each point on the foot, has a direct relationship to a point on the body.
We begin by discussing your particular health problem, and therefore tailor the treatment to the individual. If appropriate therapies would help in addition to Clinical Reflexology, we will discuss whether Yoga Therapy or Clinical Reflexology Plus would perhaps help more to encourage the healing process.
Can be dsigned to treat a specific problem, or a general 'body tune-up'!
What is Reflexology?
A reflex is 'an involuntary response to a stimulus which is specific and predictable'.
There are over 72,000 nerve endings in the feet, the reflexes of which are linked to all parts of the body. Stimulation of these reflexes with deep, but controlled pressure, triggers energy flow. This surge of energy encourages the body's innate healing mechanism to heal itself.
Even when in normal health, one will feel revitalised by a course of treatment.
Reflexology is a NATURAL, DRUGLESS therapy, from which almost all conditions will benefit.
Each body has a unique chemistry and is treated individually.- Relieves stress and tension by relaxing the body.
- Improves circulation and therefore energises.
- Aids in the elimination of toxins, allowing the body to cleanse.
Put very simply, every organ is connected by a network to a small point on the foot called a reflex point. These links between reflex points and organs, are known as energy pathways. Nerve impulses travel freely along unblocked pathways to maintain ones well-being.
Due to stress and toxins accumulating in the body, crystal-like deposits can form in the feet, causing blockage in these energy pathways. The nerve impulses cannot complete their circuits and the body is impaired.
Using controlled finger and thumb compression, the Reflexologist can apply the correct pressure to these deposits and break them down, allowing them to be eliminated via the bloodstream, urine or skin.
With the pathways cleared, the nerve impulses can once more complete their circuits, encouraging normal body function.
Who can benefit from Clinical Reflexology?
Anyone who wants to have a general health top up, or those with specific conditions.
Reflexology will improve almost every condition, in particular:- All digestive problems
- Stress & Anxiety
- All Chemical/Hormonal problems
- Muscular Problems e.g Back & Shoulder conditions
Help yourself to make the most of your life by making the most of your health.
