What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is an ancient healing art that has been practiced for thousand of years. It dates back to the early Indians, Chinese and Egyptians. It is based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature on the foot and by applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to these reflexes, it can stimulate the body's own self healing system, therefore helping to maintain and restore the body's natural balanced state. This non-invasive therapy is carried out on the feet but can also be practised on the hands and ears.

A brief history of Reflexology

 The most concrete evidence of the practice of reflexology in ancient
 culture was the discovery of this wall painting depicting the practice
 of hand and foot reflexology in the tomb of Ankhmahor (highest
 official after the Pharaoh) at Saqqara, which is also known as the
 physicians tomb. This Egyptian wall painting is dated at the 6th
 dynasty, about 2330 B.C.

Prior to this discovery it was widely believed that reflexology had ancient origins and frequent conjecture was made about its relationship to and development alongside the ancient Oriental practices of shiatsu and acupuncture. Similarly, North American Indian medicine men are believed to manipulate and stimulate the feet as a part of their healing practice.  

How Reflexology Works
The aim of Reflexology is to encourage the return of "homeostasis", a state of equilibrium and balance to the human body. Reflexology works in a deeply holistic way. In order for our bodies to function at peak health all parts of the body must be working harmoniously. If one part is not working properly then all parts are also affected as they are forced to work even harder to compensate. When our bodies are not working harmoniously this can cause stress and lead to disease. Reflexology works on the whole person, not just the symptoms. It helps you to achieve a deep state of relaxation, which in turn allows the body to heal itself, returning it to its natural balanced state. Reflexology helps to clear blockages of energy and greatly speeds up the elimination of toxins leaving you with a deep sense of well-being.

What Are The Do's And Don’ts Of Reflexology?  
Reflexologists are trained practitioners but DO NOT diagnose disease, treat for a specific condition and NEVER prescribe or advise on the taking of medicines. Reflexologists DO NOT practice medicine or treat specific diseases. Reflexologists CAN assist with the elimination of a recipients problems by bringing the body back in to a state of balance. Tender reflexes when manipulated by a Reflexologist may indicate parts of the body that are congested and out of balance.
