OUR SERVICES: REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change to the body.

In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.

Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as medical advice. It should not be a replacement for medical help.

The benefits of reflexology include:

• Relaxation
• Pain reduction
• Improvement in blood flow
• Impact on physiological measures
• Adjunct to medical treatments
• Beneficial for post-operative recovery and pain reduction
• Easier birthing, delivery and post-partum recovery
