The healing art of Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands, feet and ears that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a ‘map’ of the body.
Although Reflexology does not diagnose or treat specific ailments by definition, it has proven highly successful over time to relieve symptoms or ease pain or discomfort that have manifested themselves physically in the body – either as a result or stress, trauma or disease.
Work is carried out on the reflexes with thumbs and fingers by the therapist, using specialised massage techniques, said to help correct imbalances throughout the body, and help release blocked energy.
