What is Reflexology?
"It's more than a foot massage..."
Reflexology is a non-invasive, highly relaxing therapy that uses different pressures and massage techniques, using fingers and thumbs, on various mapped reflex points. Treatments can be carried out on the Face, Hands and Feet.
Working these reflex points - believed to correspond with different organs, tissues and glands of the body - can enable a better flow of energy through the body by releasing built up toxins. Essentially, facilitating the whole body to rebalance and harmonise.
Like with any therapy, the more treatments received, the better the chances of obtaining maximum benefit. However, one off, treatments can also provide a deep sense of relaxation and help to de-stress the busiest of minds and bodies.
