Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to reflex areas on the feet or hands to bring about a state of deep relaxation and to stimulate the body's own healing processes. It is a natural therapy that can facilitate more vital energy, help boost the immune system and create a stronger body and a calmer mind.
Reflexology is all about bringing balance, harmony and a sense of well-being to the body. At time, we find ourselves feeling "out of sort or ungrounded", add our body needs equilibrium in order to keep working healthily. Even a light reflexology treatment can help create this sense of balance.
This is not a therapy used to diagnose illness; it is a not a medical treatment. It does not cure - only the body can do that. Instead it facilitates healing within the body. It is virtually impossible to determine how long it will take an individual to feel and enjoy the benefits of reflexology. Everything starts with one small step, but it is the commitment to reflexology that can drive forward a positive outcome.
When you apply reflexology you stimulate more than 7,000 nerves in the feet, which can encourage the opening and clearing of neural pathways, helping the body to return to its natural rhythms.
Reflexology can be done on feet and hands although the feet is one of the best sources for this therapy due to the space between.
