Reflexology is known to be more than 4000 years old. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian peoples.
It is a specific pressure technique applied to the feet or hands where all the internal body structures and organs are mapped. By applying the thumb and finger pressure on the feet or hands reflexology induces deep relaxation, allowing the bodies natural healing forces to correct any imbalance.
Reflexology can be used to relieve an existing illness, as a preventative therapy by people wanting to maintain good health and as an excellent antidote to stressful life conditions.
Reflexology can reduce stress, revitalise energy, regulate metabolism and activate the body's own healing powers, strengthening the immune system and can speed up recovery from surgery and strokes. It is an holistic therapy affecting people mentally and emotionally as well as physically, treating the whole body.
