Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of massage and pressure point massage of
the feet and hands. The feet are most commonly used as the areas
for Reflexology treatments.
In the feet, there are reflex points corresponding to all of the
organs and areas of the body. In Reflexology the right foot corresponds
to the right side of the body and the left foot corresponds to the
left side of the body.
By having the whole body represented in the feet, Reflexology offers
a means of treating the whole body as a whole. This latter point
is an important factor of a natural therapy and Reflexology allows
not only symptoms to be treated but also the causes of symptoms.
Reflexology has been used for several thousands of years and has
been and still is practiced by the Chinese and the Egyptians. More
recently, the main pioneer of Reflexology in Great Britain was the
late Doreen Bayly who introduced the method in the early 1960's.
Reflexology is not 'cure-all' treatment but many different disorders
have been successfully treated by this method. Disorders such as
Migraine - Sinus problems - Hormonal Imbalances - Breathing disorders
- Digestive problems - Circulatory problems - Back pain - Tension
- Stress. Not only is Reflexology an effective treatment it is also
a very relaxing treatment and can be included in most wellbeing
programmes
