About Reflexology

Reflexology is a non-invasive form of holistic therapy that benefits the mind, body and spirit. Different points of the feet, hands, face and ears represent corresponding parts of the body, referred to as reflexes.

 

The reflexology theory is based on the feet and hands being a reflection of the body. A reflexologist works indirectly with all parts of the body by applying specific pressure techniques with their thumbs and fingers to these reflexes which represent major organs and glands. This can assist clients with illnesses by delivering increased relaxation, which is where many illnesses originate from stress and tension within the body. This can help with sleep, releasing tension, increasing energy levels, improving the mood and support your overall wellbeing.

History of Reflexology

 

The earliest indication of working on the feet and hands to promote good health was discovered in Egypt in 2500BC on the walls of the tomb of Physician Ankmahor. These techniques continued to be seen in use through ancient illustrations and texts from early China, Japan, India and Russia. Today, modern Reflexology still uses some of these ancient techniques along with methods developed through research that began in the 19th Century.
