Reflexology

What is Reflexology?
Like other complementary and holistic therapies reflexology works on the whole person rather than just one symptom. Reflexology is a natural theory and therapy that uses the feet as a map or mirror of the whole body. By applying pressure and manipulation of certain parts of the feet the whole body can be retuned and brought back into balance.

Reflexology is a touch therapy which is centred around the massage of hands and feet and more recently the face, as means of treating the whole body. A theory and therapy that uses the feet as a map to treat the whole body.

Ancient Reflexology
The roots of Reflexology can be traced back to the Egyptians, where on the tomb of an Egyptian physician there are pictures of people having their hands and feet massaged. Feet were also been very important to the American Indians as they believed massaging feet was a method of maintaining physical, mental and spiritual balance. Furthermore the Chinese have for over 5000 years used the application of pressure for healing the body.
