Reflexology

The history of Reflexology is found in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, India, China and North America.

Bones in the foot are formed so they combine great strength with flexibility. The sole is composed of layers of tough fibrous muscles and ligaments well supplied with nerves and lymphatic glands.

The reflexes on the feet are a mirror of the whole organism of the body

When a function is inhibited or disease is present, we find that congestion in the form of deposits that have not been cleansed away by the Venous circulation and the Lymph.

Pressure, massage and stimulation techniques are designed to break up and disperse these crystalline structures in the reflexes. This releases blocked up energy which is causing imbalance.

Stimulation of the circulatory and lymphatic systems encourages the elimination of toxins, thereby assisting the body to heal itself.

As a reflex is massaged nerves carry the messages to the brain and to the appropriate glandular centre.

When tension is released the circulation of the blood is increased.

Electrical impulses triggered off by pressure massage on a tender reflex releases a subtle energy flow which brings a remarkable return of vitality. This varies with the sensitivity of the individual.
