About reflexology
Reflexology is the modern name for a therapy that’s as old as some of the most ancient civilisations. It’s a holistic technique based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the hands and feet that correspond to every part of the human body.
The technique is applied to the feet, hands and face, in order to try and reduce the impact of everyday stress and bring balance and harmony to the body’s various systems.
Reflexology promotes and encourages total body relaxation, the release of tension, improved mood and restful sleep. It aims to achieve an overall sense of wellbeing.
The reflexology consultation
A reflexology session involves a practitioner applying pressure to precise reflex points on the feet using their thumb and finger. It’s a gentle and relaxing therapy, so much so that many clients fall asleep during the session and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
The session may be preceded with questions about your all-round health. Note however that no diagnosis, prognosis or advice will be offered.
