REFLEXOLOGY
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive holistic treatment that works by applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet.The theory behind reflexology is that different parts of the body correspond with these areas on the feet.A reflexologist uses a map of these areas to work on helping to balance the area and clear any blockages that may arise.In traditional Chinese medicine ‘qi’ is the flow of energy through a person’s body. The ancient Chinese belief is that when a person feels stressed, their body blocks this qi energy from flowing leading to imbalances and possible illness.Reflexology helps to keep this qi energy flowing and the body balanced.
