The background

Reflexology is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and its use dates back thousands of years.

What is it?

The principle behind it is that there are lines of energy called meridians that flow through every part of the body. The feet contain reflex zones that correspond to every part of the body and the meridians. It is thought that congestions or imbalances in the meridians will over time lead to ill health or disease.

During a treatment the feet are therapeutically massaged during which areas of congestion or imbalance are detected and worked upon. When these are cleared the body can return to homeostasis or balance. Working the feet in this way stimulates the body`s own healing systems. Imbalances can be detected and cleared before they become a problem so as well as working on established health problems it is also a preventative therapy.
