Reflexology dates back to over 4000 BC. The first sightings of reflexology were inscribed in “Ankamor’s tomb” in Egypt. It was later understood that applying pressure to the feet/hands, has an anesthetic or indirect healing effect on other parts of the body. There are different schools of thought about reflexology. The theory applied here is on the basis that there are many nerve endings in the feet and hands, which are receptive to pressure and stimulation via the central nervous system. Stimulating these different points on the feet increases the energy flow to the corresponding parts of the body, encourages the elimination of waste, restoring peace of mind and reducing stress.

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a popular therapy that entails up to an hour of pure relaxation dedicated entirely to the feet. I use an alternating thumb pressure caterpillar movement whilst working over the foot, isolating and applying pressure to specific areas relaying to corresponding points of the body.

Reflexology is a complimentary, non-invasive therapy that re-energises a tired, sluggish body, encouraging the physical and emotional wellbeing of a person to re-balance and restore. Whilst it relaxes and calms the mind, its wonderful detoxifying and subtle stimulating effects will leave you feeling lighter, energised and refreshed.

Reflexology has physiological effects on the body as it stimulates the blood and oxygen flow and works on an energetic level similar to that of acupuncture by stimulating and altering the flow of energy - Qi.

It is, however, important to understand that while this therapy can assist in the recovery from ill health, it is not a means to cure illnesses. Reflexology is a complementary therapy not a science, and works well in conjunction with orthodox medicine.
