Relax From the Feet Up

We are living in a world of ever-increasing pace and stress so it is becoming more important to find methods to relax and unwind.

Imagine the experience of someone gently massaging your feet. The soft scent of your favourite aromatherapy oil combined with relaxing music in the background, as an experienced reflexologist massages your feet for an hour.

Reflexology has existed for many thousands of years. We have historical information showing that this technique was used in China, India and Egypt many thousands of years ago.

This non-invasive manipulation is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the hands and feet and they connect to other parts of the body through energy lines.

The theory that pressure with specific finger and thumb techniques on one part of that zone could help clear blockages anywhere else on the same line, led the practitioners to find that stimulation of the points in the feet helped restore normal energy flow in the body. When we place our body into a place of balance (perfect homeostasis) the body can assist in self healing. Anything that good is worth a try.

All you need to do is give yourself an hour, lie back relax and enjoy. Reflexology is a complimentary health system that can be used in conjunction with any other complimentary health programmes you may be following.
