A bit about Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient healing therapy with its origins in Egypt and China dating as far back as around 2300 BC. Modern day reflexology was developed by Eunice Ingham who over many years, mapped the zones of the feet in relation to the organs of the body.
It is not fully understood how reflexology works, but its ability to work throughout the body as well as its potential to help with so many health related issues makes it a powerful tool for promoting overall wellbeing. Most of my clients return for regular sessions as not only do they feel the benefit at the time but they start to experience a more general sense of wellbeing.
Reflexology is a natural therapy based on the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands which correspond to each part of the body. It is believed that by applying specific massage to these reflexes, the therapy can improve mood, aid sleep and promote a sense of wellbeing.
I use gentle and sometimes firmer pressure on the feet (or hands) to help release stress and tension. It is a safe and non-intrusive therapy which can be used on everyone of all ages from babies to the older people.
As reflexologists we do not claim to either diagnose or cure specific conditions. Reflexology is a holistic therapy which treats the whole person, which will often help them to cope with, and in turn may improve many stress related problems including helping with sleep.
Many people also report a general improvement in their general wellbeing with regular reflexology treatments.
ART (Advanced Reflexology Technique)
I am also trained in Advanced Reflexology Technique. This method, developed by Tony Porter, allows different techniques to be used which can enhance the therapy.
VRT and Synergistic Reflexology
Where appropriate, I also use VRT (Vertical Reflex Therapy) which is a unique reflexology technique where the feet are briefly worked on the dorsum (top of foot) in a standing, weight-bearing position at the beginning and end of your reflexology treatment. This therapy complements classical reflexology, and again it can aid general wellbeing, relieve tension and bring about a state of relaxation throughout the body. VRT was developed by Lynne Booth.
Please remember that reflexology is a complementary therapy and is not intended to be a replacement for medical advice or treatment. If you are concerned about any health issue which you may have, you should consult your GP.
