Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which works on the feet
to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms.
Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s
natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to
work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.
Reflexology has been shown to be effective for:
- Back Pain
- Migraine
- Infertility
- Arthritis
- Sleep disorders
- Hormonal imbalances
- Sports injuries
- Digestive disorders
- Stress-related conditions
Reflexology does not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe.
Reflexology has a relaxing effect and thus reduces stress. Once stress
is reduced the body is able to function better and heal itself.
Reflexology can be done on the reflex points of the hands, feet, ears
and face.
Reflexology is a gentle treatment that is appropriate for everyone:
children and adults of every age.

body heal itself.

Reflexology Is a practice where pressure is applied to feet, hands,
face and ears. It is based on the principal that reflex points are
related to internal organs. By pressing on reflex points with hand and
finger techniques, Reflexology causes responses (relaxation) to
corresponding parts of the body. Reflexology relaxes and allows the
body to heal itself.
