Reflexology is an ancient Chinese and Egyptian technique which views illness as a result of energy imbalance within the body. It was not until around 1913 that the therapy was introduced to the west by an American ear, nose and throat consultant, Dr William Fitzgerald.

In the feet and hands, there are reflex areas corresponding to all the parts of the body and these areas are arranged in such a way as to form a map of the body in the feet with the right foot corresponding to the right side of the body and the left foot to the left side of the body. When pressure is applied to these reflexes it sends nerve impulses, stimulating the corresponding organs, encouraging energy to flow more freely and so facilitate healing.

Reflexology can bring relief from a wide range of conditions such as;

Migraine
Sinus problems
Hormonal imbalances
Digestive problems
Circulatory problems
Stress and tension

After a full consultation the therapist will initially examine the feet before commencing with the precise massage movement. The particular type of massage involved requires the application of a firm pressure using the side and end of the thumb. In some instances, the fingers may also be employed.

All areas on both feet will be massaged. Areas corresponding to parts of the body which are out of balance may feel tender when massaged and the degree of tenderness will indicate the degree of imbalance. The sensitivity of the feet varies from person to person and the trained practitioner will understand the correct pressure to apply and how to interpret the tenderness felt. The massage should not be uncomfortable, even to the most sensitive feet.
