Reflexology is recognised and respected as an effective therapy of the feet. The feet are seen as a mirror of the body. By applying pressure to reflex points which stimulate nerve impulses, reflexology will help to increase the natural healing mechanisms of the body and help to maintain equilibrium. It is suitable for all ages and its relaxing effect helps the recipient to cope more easily on a physical, mental and emotional level.
Reflexology is widely used in hospitals and hospices to help relieve suffering and pain and increase the healing powers of the body. Research articles can be accessed via the British Library.
A normal treatment will be 1 hour. Many patients experience a feeling of sinking into the couch as they drift off into an alternative mental state. This can be equated to being in a meditative or hypnotic experience. As with any complementary therapy it is recommended to rest after the treatment and drink water to help with the homeostatic physiological response.
