Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex points in the hands and feet which link to different organs in the body. The reflexologist reduces tension in the body by working on these different points and by relaxing you it will in turn reduce stress, from which many of today’s diseases stem.

No one knows exactly how reflexology works, but it is proven that there is a flow of energy through channels in the body and these channels terminate to form the reflex points in the feet and hands. When this energy is flowing we remain healthy, but if the energy flow is blocked which is possible by tension, disease can result. Treatment of these reflexes by a skilled and competent reflexologist will break down the blockages.

Unlike Thai Massage, which can last up to two hours, reflexology is usually about half an hour. The reflexes on each foot are worked on in turn using the thumb and forefinger on the sole, side and top. A painful reflex is concentrated on for a short while before treating another one and is then returned to until the tenderness is removed. This takes skill and experience on the part of the reflexologist, but is carried out correctly reflexology will increase relaxation, will improve the blood supply and will restore harmony in all bodily functions.
