Reflexology is the application of gentle pressure to the soles of the feet,
or the palms of the hands in order to stimulate the body's own healing
processes and help people regain optimum health, and promotes
a feeling of well being and increased energy. Reflexology is safe, natural
and a non-invasive technique that can complement conventional
medical treatment. It helps relieve many conditions caused by modern
living. For instance, our bodies are often affected by minor illnesses,
such as the
common cold or influenza virus, stress and diet,
making us feel down, depressed and feel generally unwell. These problems can be
treated using pressure, which is applied to specific areas of the feet that
correspond to the body parts that are causing us concern, and soon the body
is rebalanced and a state of equilibrium is reached. Below is a Reflexology Chart of the Foot that can
be used to target areas of illness. You may

Reflexology dates back to Japan by at least 5,000 years. It was also prolific in China and Egypt; slowly news of its benefits spread to the West and arrived in Europe during the Dark Ages, resulting in modern day reflexology being born from medical studies which were carried out in the United Kingdom, Germany, the rest of Europe and eventually the USA.
Tips for Reflexology Treatments
You should always consult a qualified Reflexologist in order to ensure you are given the correct treatment for your condition. They will also be able to advise you on changes that can be made to your lifestyle to help prevent reoccurrences in your symptoms. Your reflexologist can treat many conditions including Stress/Anxiety, Depression, and Lack of energy, Arthritis, Poor cardiovascular circulation, Headaches & Migraines, Irritable bowel syndrome and Insomnia etc. The list is exhaustive.
A Reflexologist can treat anybody whatever their age, but is especially beneficial to those with long term illnesses or diseases . A long-term commitment may be required, as multiple treatments will probably be needed in order to maintain your health. On rare occasions the release of toxins, as a result of the body's natural healing process, may result in temporary symptoms such as perspiration or headaches; however these symptoms are not directly related to Reflexology treatments, and should pass within a few hours. Most people leave a treatment feeling relaxed and go on to have a great night's sleep.
Here are a few guidelines to help maximize your treatment:
