A natural way of keeping the body balanced, allowing it to ward off illness. |
Reflexology is a wonderful way to restore and maintain balance of the bodily systems. To work effectively and maintain good-health energy needs to be able to flow freely around our organs, keeping them in tip-top condition. It can be described as a pressure massage applied to the reflex points of the feet or hands, which aims to restore and maintain balance of mind, spirit and body. It is a natural, non-invasive therapy which stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms.
Reflexology, when had regularly, is a totally natural way of keeping the
body balanced and allowing it to ward off illness on its own.
A reflexology treatment also helps to speed up the removal of toxins.
Reflexology is not a new health phenomenon; it has been around for thousands
of years! Carvings were found on the tombs of the Ancient Egyptians, depicting
scenes of Reflexology being practised on one another. Physicians and Physiotherapists
have further developed it over the years into what we practise today.
In many different ways! Below are just a few examples. Don't hesitate to contact us to find out how it can help you!
Pregnancy Reflexology treatments generally begin in the 2nd trimester and continue throughout the pregnancy up until the birth.
Specific points and “reflex” areas are used in each treatment according to individual needs. From the 38th week onwards the aim is to help facilitate labour.
Each session is an ideal opportunity for the client to enjoy feeling relaxed and nourished, while allowing any intense feelings to be expressed safely and gently.
Pregnancy Reflexology may help with the following:
• Alleviation of morning sickness
• Keeping blood pressure levels balanced
• Coping with the bodily/emotional changes
• Soothing nerves & calming sensitivity
• Allowing “time-out” for the mother-to-be
• Cultivating the relationship between mother & child
• Giving a greater chance of labour starting naturally
This deeply relaxing treatment was originally developed in one of the top spa sanctuaries in California – bringing together the therapeutic dimension of Reflexology with the luxurious warmth of hot basalt stones.
The neck and shoulder area are treated first; the volcanic stones are then placed beneath the shoulder-blades whilst the feet are worked with smaller heated pebbles in the traditional “reflex” areas.
As with normal Reflexology, particular attention is paid to problem areas, while working on the whole body to create harmony in body, mind and spirit.
These powerful sessions have the ability to help the client truly unwind and let go.
Treatments begin and end with a soothing massage, using a homeopathic cream. A full treatment lasts approximately 50-60 minutes and is always tailored to the particular needs of the client.
All reflex areas are covered - reflexology is a holistic therapy and concentrates
on the whole person not just their symptoms.
All you need to do is remove your shoes and socks, sit back and let the
Reflexology relax and restore!
