| What is Reflexology? Reflexology
is a science that is based on the principle that there are
reflexes in the feet, hands, ears, and other body surface
areas that correspond to organs, glands and other body parts.
The practice of reflexology involves the use of the fingers
and thumb to exert pressure on these reflexes, as a form of
acupressure. Reflexology treatments have been shown to:
• Relieve stress and tension
• Improve blood supply and assist the unblocking
of nerve impulses
• Support homeostasis (the natural efforts of the
body to rebalance body function)
What happens in a reflexology session?
First you will receive a warm foot bath fragrant with therapeutic
grade essential oils.
After the footbath you will lie on a padded massage table,
or sit in a reclining chair suited for the purpose. Specific
acupressure techniques are applied to complete a full treatment
of both right and left feet. Extra time may be spent working
on sensitive areas, once the treatment of both feet has been
completed.
I practise the original Ingham Method of Reflexology. This
means that you will receive a deep and thorough acupressure
treatment on all points in your feet.
Application of high quality therapeutic grade essential
oils to specific points on the feet or body may in some cases
follow the reflexology treatment.
A thorough reflexology treatment improves blood circulation
and nerve supply to all the organs of your body.
Reflexology is a pleasant and relaxing therapy to receive,
and a valuable aid to self-healing programs.
