Reflexology may be relaxing and invigorating, a lovely way to relax and unwind by balancing the mind, body and spirit
Reflexology works by balancing and harmonizing the whole system. It has been observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part of the body, so for example, when you treat the big toes there is a related effect in the head and treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body. A Reflexologist aims to balance the body's natural energies encouraging your own natural ability to heal.
There are over 7000 nerve endings in the feet and stimulation of these can initiate a profound relaxation response, it has been observed that at this level, healing seems to originate. Stress and other conditions can unbalance the body and vital energy pathways or meridians become blocked preventing the bodies natural energies from flowing correctly. Trained sensitive hands can detect these blockages and maintain the free flow of energy to the whole body.
