| REFLEXOLOGY |
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a touch therapy, which allows the gentle release of stress, through stimulating reflex areas in the hands & feet!
Reflexology is a holistic non-invasive (only shoes & socks need to be removed) tactile therapy using a variety of different pressure techniques to mainly the feet and hands (ear reflexology is also available). It shares an approach to the healing of disease similar to other complementary disciplines such as Naturopathy and Massage.
Reflexology is based on the body's reflex relationship which recognises that there are links between points on the feet & hands (known as "reflex" points), and in the organs, systems and structures in the body as a whole. These areas respond to unique massage and pressure techniques, stimulating the body's own healing process. There are thousands of nerve endings in the feet and hands and when stimulated, there is a corresponding stimulation in the respective body part.
Feeling stressed? How can reflexology help transform your stress levels into vitality?
Reflexology has the powerful effect of both inducing a deep meditative state and releasing the build up of stressors through applying focused pressure techniques to the reflex areas which are blocked.
Whether pregnant, leading an active lifestyle or suffering from diabetes, sleep deprivation, back pain or digestive issues, reflexology can benefit many people.
Reflexology and Pregnancy
Reflexology can help with nausea, backache, swollen ankles, symphysis pubis discomfort, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, poor circulation, reduce insomnia, reduce reflux, help with sciatic, back and hip pain and other pregnancy symptoms. Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy using a variety of pressure techniques to stimulate the reflex points in the feet and hands that correspond to the different parts of the body activating the body’s own natural healing process.
All body systems benefit from reflexology, as you may notice going through your pregnancy, there are a myriad of physical and hormonal changes to cater for the growing foetus. Fluctuating hormones are balanced using the Endocrine Balance technique.
Reflexology is a wonderful way to stimulate and at the same time relax your body systems during pregnancy reducing systems of sluggishness and increasing energy levels.
Reflexology and Preconception Care
The balance effects of reflexology can help prepare your body for pregnancy as well as assist in pre-conception issues including stress, tension, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome and other hormonal imbalances.
Reflexology and Post-natal Care
Reflexology is particularly beneficial in dealing with fatigue, stress and anxiety issues. As a mother experiences many changes on a both a physical and emotional level, regular reflexology treatments can assist with calming the sympathetic nervous system, relieving stress and allowing the mother time out.
