What is Reflexology?Reflexology is a form of bodywork that focuses primarily on the feet, but can also be used on the hands and ears. The theory behind Reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. For example:
Reflexology is a very popular therapy and promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet and encourages overall healing. Reflexology is also often used for post-operative or palliative care. A typical treatment is 45 - 60 minutes including a consultation. The client removes only their shoes and socks and sits comfortably on a massage couch/table or reclining chair. The reflexologist will assess the feet stimulating various points to identify areas of tenderness or tension. Usually the reflexologist will begin with a warm up massage of the feet and then pressure is applied from the toes to the heel according to your comfort. Lotion or oil often is used to aid smooth movements. Practitioners believe that applying pressure to these reflex areas can promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways.
