Reflexology
It is believed by many, that both the hands and feet contain “Maps” or “Mirror Images” of the whole body and its systems.
By manipulating and applying pressure to certain parts of the hands/ feet, which stimulates pressure points along lines known as “Meridians”, it is also believed that the whole of the body can be aided to bring itself back into its own “Natural Balance”
The Chinese have been using the application of pressure for healing purposes for over 5000 years.
Acupressure uses thumb pressure on acupoints that run throughout the body, which helps to release blocked energy and thus allow the body to heal itself.
Acupuncture follows similar principles.
It is believed that the effects of reflexology may last up to four days following a treatment.
