Reflexology is an
extremely effective form of massage. The basis of which
relates to "reflex points" on the sole of the foot.
These "points" coincide with each organ and system
in the body and are linked to those organs by "energy
channels", "zones" or "meridians".
When illness, or imbalance, occurs the corresponding
"energy channels" become blocked. Reflexology
Massage aims to remove these blocks, thus allowing the energy
to flow freely again.
When the
Physiotherapist, Eunice Ingham first began mapping the entire
bodily organs onto the feet, back in the 1930's, little did
she realise that this would be the beginning of such a
revolution in healing therapy. From this time on, it has been
confirmed that by using pressure on the various points on the
feet, along with massage, that such an improvement in
both illness and ailment could be witnessed. Modern
Reflexology is both a science and an art. Reflexology is
generally applied as a massage to the feet or hands,
using the zones that correspond to the various organs of
the body. As a science, it requires careful study, faithful
practise and a sound knowledge of the techniques that are
used.
As one of the
'healing arts', Reflexology yields the best result when the
Reflexologist works with self belief and dedication.
Reflexology will
reduce stress and tension in the individual, improve
circulation and cleanse the body of toxins and impurities. It
is also renowned for revitalisation of energy and is
often used as a preventative healthcare. In other words
this pleasing therapy will help to balance the whole system.
