​Reflexology is a relaxing and gentle therapy that can promote deep relaxation and overall well-being. The ultimate effect is a reduction in stress and tension which lets your body and mind reset and rebalance, rebuilding good health and improving resilience.

Whether you are male or female, young or old, reflexology has something to offer all patients, whether it’s reducing stress levels improving sleep or enhancing rejuvenation.

Reflexology works by approaching the body holistically. Your reflexologist applies gentle and repeated pressure to key reflex regions (zones) on your feet or face. These carefully researched zones correspond with specific body structures, organs and organ systems through meridians or channels. If an illness or stress occurs in the body, the corresponding energy meridian/channel can be affected, and that structure or organ may then start to present with symptoms.

Reflexology is an effective treatment that works to release these areas of dysfunction and helps restore the body’s natural balance. The gentle and rhythmic techniques instil a level of relaxation that can help to result in lower stress and a feeling of euphoric well-being. In fact, many patients simply fall asleep for a short while during the session and awake feeling refreshed, recharged and rejuvenated.
