Reflexology is the ancient art of applying pressure to the feet and hands using specific thumb, finger and hand techniques – it is based on a system of ten ‘zones’ and ‘reflex areas’, that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands. Its function is to effect a physical healing and changes to homeostasis by releasing ‘blockages’ and restoring the free-flow of energy through the body .

The therapy was developed by Eunace Ingham in the mid to late twentieth century; however, the principles of treating the body holistically using lines of energy, date back thousands of years.
In the tomb of Ankhamor, there are a series of pictures, illustrating what seems to be a similar art to Reflexology, whereby a physician is holding and manipulating both feet and hands. In today’s stressful lifestyles, more and more people are reaping the benefits of the art of Reflexology.

What are the benefits of Reflexology?

Research has shown the specific techniques of reflexology to be effective and beneficial in many ways, it:
It relieves stress and creates relaxation – 75% of disease is thought to be stress related.
In order for the body to maintain ‘homeostasis’, it needs energy in the form of oxygen and nutrients, which are circulated in the blood. Reflexology increases blood circulation, it increases the efficiency of cells and therefore organs.
It helps to prelease trapped nervous energy and improves neural pathways – somewhere in the region of 7000 nerves are stimulated through reflexology massage.
It improves the elimination of waste material, which can be harmful to the body if it accumulates.
It activates ‘self-healing’ in the body
Pain reduction - documented in 27 studies including research showing impact on individuals of all ages and health states
Aids post-operative recovery: Reflexology work aids recovery after surgery as shown by several studies, reducing pain and lessening the use of post-operative analgesics.
