Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural and holistic therapy that restores and maintains the body’s natural balance and facilitates healing. The principle is that there are reflexes in the feet that map and correlate to glands, organs and other parts of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology therapy can relieve tension, improve circulation, support the body's efforts to function optimally. It helps with issues such as musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, anxiety, stress, hormones, digestive issues, and more!
The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance” and vital body systems can be blocked, preventing the body from functioning optimally. For each person, the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances and by working on these points that are then released.
Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available. You do not have to remove your clothing and it treats the entire body!
