Reflexology

Reflexology can be traced back as far as 2500BC and has its roots in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, China, Africa and the Native Indian Tribes of America. Reflexology works on the principle that all of the body's organs and structures are mirror imaged on the feet and hands.

By using thumb holds and pressure techniques you are stimulating the flow of energy to the corresponding parts of  the body. This allows the acceleration of the healing to take place on these specific body parts. By treating your feet, we are treating the whole body.

Reflexology is not a 'cure all', however it is a very effective way to prevent future problems. It detects and clears most energy blockages found in your body, hence making it a great way to treat most conditions including:

• Skin conditions including psoriasis and acne

• Stress and all stress related conditions

• Back aches and pains including sciatica

• Digestive problems including I.B.S

• Menstrual problems including P.M.S and Menopause

• Infertility (in women) and Impotence (in men)
