The Reflexology Spa

Reflexology is a complementary therapy which facilitates the healing of the whole person and not just the symptoms of illness or stress. By working on specific points of the feet, which correspond to organs and structures, the body is encouraged to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.

Reflexology is deeply relaxing and, as about 75% of disease is stress related, it provides a major contribution in maintaining good health. Many companies provide reflexology for their staff, recognising the value in terms of reducing absenteeism.

Reflexology has been shown to be effective for hormonal imbalances, PMT and menopause. Also:

• Back pain
• Migraine and headaches
• Arthritis
• Sleep disorders
• Digestive disorders
• Circulatory problems
• Helping to remove toxins from the body
• Invaluable in palliative care.

Reflexology is suitable for any age.

It is advisable to have several sessions on a weekly basis as a course and then to continue treatments at regular intervals in order to maintain health and well being.

After one or two treatments your body may respond in a definite way. Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is a part of the healing process.

It is important to tell your reflexologist how you feel after your sessions so that she knows how you are responding and can tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
