Reflexology

Reflexology is a therapy that treats the feet in order to balance the whole body.
By massaging and applying pressure to parts of the feet known as reflex areas, other corresponding and connected areas of the body will feel the benefit.
The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing processes to maintain its natural balance. This is achieved by stimulating the 7000 nerve endings in the feet and clearing any congestion or energy blockages.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy, working on the principle that the whole person must be treated. If one area is out of balance then other areas will be.

Reflexology does not diagnose diseases nor attempt to cure specific medical conditions.

• Stress related problems
