Reflexology This treatment involves the specific use of pressure, whether on the hand or foot to bring a sense of peace, tranquillity and well being to the individual. Described as a non-invasive treatment, reflexology helps to produce balance between the different bodily systems it stimulates. Traditional beliefs subscribe to the theory that the whole of the body is mapped, in miniature, onto the feet. This is possibly due to mass abundance of sensory nerves in the body ending in the feet and hands. These form sensory nerve endings and thus reflex points. These points are stimulated by thumb/finger in order to bring the body back into balance. Benefits Promotes self-healing, reduces stress, calms and soothes, well being, relaxes mind & body, encourages elimination of toxins, improves circulation, improved sleeping patterns, assists the body in maintaining a state of balance.
