Reflexology

 

About

Reflexology is alternative healing technique that stimulates the self healing ability of our bodies with the pressure of specific points on the feet, hands or ears.

 

Sessions

Full hour or half hour sessions of foot reflexology are available. The person lies down fully dressed and the operator presses a sequence of points on the feet based on the principles of Chinese medicine.

Fourty minute advanced reflexology sessions for mind unblocking and neck/shoulder relaxation are also available.  

 

How does it work?

Decades of practical experience have shown that feet (hands and ears) work like a mirror of a persons' wellness and balance.

Painful or "empty" areas on the feet reveal imbalances in the psychosomatic system. Applying different kinds of pressure, the pain and "emptiness" disappears, sometimes even during the first session.

Receiving regular foot reflexology treatments can help to restore or maintain a better balance in our mind and our body.

 

History

Documents which testify to the knowledge and the use of foot reflexology since ancient times, have been found in Egypt, India and China.

During more recent years, reflexology was rediscovered and circulated first under the name of zone therapy by William H Fitzgerald and Dr. Edwin Bowers.

In the ’30's, Eunice D. Ingham, nurse and physiotherapist introduced the term reflexology with her work on the map of reflex points.
