What is Reflexology?It is a way of using our hands to work on people's feet. The body is 'mapped' on the feet and a reflexologist uses various techniques to locate and clear energy imbalances that show up as 'grittiness' under the skin in the corresponding reflexes on the feet. Movements include light or firm pressure, massage, rotations of toes and ankles, etc.
What is its history?It's a very ancient practice, probably thousands rather than hundreds of years old.
What conditions might it help?Practically anything. The body will heal itself, given the right impetus.
What benefits can be expected?
You should feel relaxed after treatment, possibly tired. Sometimes there is an exaggeration of the symptoms you came with, and/or the body's metabolism may speed up, and this is a good sign as it indicates that the body is responding to treatment. Over the longer term, your general health, level of immunity and response to stress will improve. Clients usually report a better level of energy.
