Is a complementary therapy that involves a pressure technique using the thumbs and fingers on the reflex areas found in the feet and hands. Reflexology is extremely effective and is based on the principle that reflexes in the feet and hands correspond to each organ and structure in the body, and are linked to these organs by energy channels, zones or meridians. When illness occurs in the body, the correspondin energy channels become blocked, and reflexology is applied to destroy these blockages, allowing the energy to flow freely again, so restoring the body's natural balance and therefore good health.
Reflexology is wonderful for nearly any complaint and is also a natural way of maintaining your health. It should be noted that reflexology is not a replacement for any medication you may be taking, and in some cases, approval from a GP is necessary prior to treatment. This is why a comprehensive consultation is carried out on the first treatment to make sure any medication being taken will not be affected, or anything else aggravated by reflexology.
