Relax and feel the benefits through your feet
Reflexology can facilitate healing by restoring homeostasis
Reflexology is well known for its relaxing effects, but most of the other benefits tend to be overlooked.
Different points on the feet represent different points throughout the body, so when your feet are worked on, it can help your entire body.
The primary aim for reflexology is to relieve stress and tension as this pulls on the muscles. These muscles then pull on the bones which can restrict the nerves. Releasing this tension can help to improve circulation and also mental clarity as you allow the blood to flow properly.
Various studies have shown that reflexology can help to relieve pain, ameliorate various health concerns, reduce depression and anxiety, and can also ease side effects of treatments which cause pain, nausea and vomitting.
Reflexology has also been shown to Increase energy, promote refreshing sleep (which is important to give the body time to heal) and strengthen the body's natural self-healing mechanisms.
One of the benefits of reflexology which has led us to include this treatment in our programmes is that it stimulates movement of lymph, which helps with removal of waste products and the fighting of infections.
If you'd like to learn more about reflexology, its benefits or our programmes, then we'd love to hear from you.
