Practitioners:
Reflexology is based on the principle that certain points on the feet or hands, called reflexes, correspond to various parts of the body. Think of the feet or hands as a mini-map of the whole body. By applying pressure to these in a systematic way a reflexologist can help to release tension, encourage energy flow and act as a catalyst for the body’s natural healing processes.
Reflexology does not require the removal of any clothing apart from footwear. This helps to create a relaxing space for the client who need not be disturbed or turned over once the treatment has begun.
Precision Reflexology is a very gentle form of reflexology using a technique called linking to further encourage the flow of energy through the body. It is a deeply relaxing treatment, but clients report very powerful responses.
A reflexologist does not diagnose or claim to cure specific diseases, but there are many conditions that can benefit from treatment including sinusitis, migraine, digestive problems (such as IBS), stress-related disorders, PMS, menopausal symptoms and many types of pain – back, neck, sciatica, etc . There has also been some recent research evidence to suggest that reflexology can be helpful for infertility and multiple sclerosis.
