Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural healing science based on the application of pressure to reflex points in the feet. These reflexes correspond to main body systems and organs.

Foot treatments have been used in India, Egypt and China for thousands of years.  Contemporary reflexology is based upon the principle that areas on the feet are linked to our internal organs and functional systems and that application of pressure to points on the feet can stimulate energy flow to the corresponding area of the body.

Reflexology treatment brings a profound sense of calm and wellbeing to patients and research studies support its effectiveness in treating pre-menstrual symptoms and headaches and its benefit to people with multiple sclerosis.  Patients report that migraine, asthma and digestive problems respond well to reflexology, and we have found, too, that it has been successful in helping couples with fertility problems.
