Reflexology
What is it?
Received on bare feet – and sometimes the hands,
Reflexology treats the whole body, as all body parts are reflected on these
areas.
Reflexology is based on the
principle that the anatomy and physiology of the body is mapped out on the
feet; a microcosm of the macrocosm.
The feet are divided into 10
energy zones and channels that flow through the whole body. Specific finger
pressure is used to cover all the zones and to initiate and accelerate the
body’s own healing mechanism.
The treatment is based on
Western and Eastern Healing Reflexology techniques, in that both the physical
and the energy systems of the body are addressed, thus being a whole-body
approach. It is a highly effective natural
healing therapy, that improves health and well-being.
The
Benefits

As all body systems and organs are mapped out on the feet, Reflexology may help with conditions of the, muscular, skeletal, nervous, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, immune, reproductive, hormonal and urinary systems.
