Goddess Therapies ~ Reflexology - A better way to health
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology works on the principle that there are reflexes on the soles of the feet that correspond to every gland, organ and part of the body. The feet are viewed as mirrors of the body.
The physical act of applying specific pressures using thumb, finger and hand techniques stimulate these reflex points which in turn stimulates the relevant body part, gently encouraging the body to restore to its own optimum balance.
Reflexology is used not only to restore physical health but also to maintain it and is therefore a preventative treatment.
Because of the deep relaxation induced by a treatment, reflexology also works on an emotional level as well.
What can it help?
Treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body.
Reflexology does not claim to 'Cure' anything however numerous different disorders have been successfully treated such as:
- Migraine/Headaches
- Sinus problems
- Hormone imbalance
- Digestive disorders
- Breathing disorders
- Circulatory problems
- Back problems
- Sleep disorders
- Stress and tension
Reflexology can relax, energise, balance and positively affect everyone from newborn to elderly.
Treatment
Each treatment lasts 45-90 minutes during which time the patient reclines on a therapy couch or chair and receives the treatment on bare feet, which induces relaxation.
The practitioner will systematically 'work' one foot at a time so that the entire body is treated not just the specific problem. This then enables the body to heal itself and reach a balanced state of health.
Reflexology reduces stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation and
- Improves circulation
- Cleanses the body of toxins
- Creates homeostasis
- Relieves pain
- Revitalises energy
- And above all is preventative health care
