REFLEXOLOGY & YOUR HEALTH

A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body.  Through application of gentle pressure on these points Reflexology helps to:
•    Reduce stress
•    Improve circulation
•    Promote relaxation
•    Promote the natural function of the related areas of the body
 Reflexology can be done on anyone:
•    The young
•    The old
•    The sick
•    The pregnant
•    Pre and post surgery
•    People with leg amputations (work on hand)
 For Acute distress – once every 48 hours
For Chronic Conditions – once a week remembering that a condition which took a long time to build, will take some time to be helped.
For Optimum General Health and Prevention – once a month

 LENGTH OF TREATMENT?
 A full treatment is always given and lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

 
HOW DOES REFLEXOLOGY WORK?
    When we stimulate the reflex points, the body’s natural electric energy works along the nervous system and the meridian lines to clear any blockage on those lines and in the corresponding zones.  A treatment also seems to break up crystal deposits, which may interfere with the natural flow of the body’s energy.
 What is a treatment like?
   
 Both patient and reflexologist must be positioned comfortably to ensure maximum relaxation.  Usually, a reclining position is preferred by the patient.  A reflexologist will usually work on the bare feet, but if this is not possible, the treatment can be given on the hands.
  Beginning with the right foot, all reflex points on both feet are always stimulated as the body is considered to be a whole unit; the pressure applied varying with each person.
 Treatments last usually from 45 to 60 minutes.  For babies, the aged or extremely ill, pressure used is decreased.
