Reflexology

Service Description

Reflexology has been used for centuries to promote health and wellbeing. This ancient healing technique is grounded in the belief that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems within the body. Through the application of pressure on these points, reflexology aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, alleviate stress, and restore balance. Reflexology is deeply relaxing and can be a powerful tool for healing. Reflexology has been practiced in China and India for thousands of years, often as part of a broader system of traditional medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the concept of ‘qi’ (or life force energy) is central. Reflexology is used to unblock qi pathways to restore balance and health. Reflexology can help with LOTS of health issues Reflexology is associated with relaxation and stress relief, but its potential benefits extend much further. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that reflexology can be beneficial for a variety of health issues: Pain relief: Reflexology has been studied for its ability to alleviate pain, particularly in individuals with chronic conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. By stimulating specific reflex points, reflexologists can help reduce pain signals and promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. Digestive issues: Reflexology is believed to aid digestion by stimulating the corresponding reflex points on the feet. For instance, the arch of the foot is associated with the bowel and small intestine. By applying pressure to these areas, reflexologists can help improve digestive function and relieve symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and indigestion. Hormonal imbalances: Reflexology has also been used to support hormonal health, particularly in women. It is thought to help balance hormones by targeting reflex points linked to the endocrine system, which includes the ovaries, thyroid, and adrenal glands. Some women report from symptoms of PMS, menopause, and other hormonal imbalances after regular reflexology sessions.
