How does Reflexology Work?

Our bodies already have systems of elimination which collect and evacuate waste and toxins. Sometimes the collectors in these systems get blocked or shut down. Tiny lymph ducts, kidneys, liver or blood vessels can become restricted by stress, illness, inflammation, anxiety, injury or exhaustion.

When a reflex point is stimulated it sends energy to the corresponding zone to reactivate, normalize and excrete, therefore by improving circulation, nourishing nerve endings the function of these systems can be rejuvenated.

What are the primary benefits?

• Release Tension
• Improved Circulation
• The three R's — Relaxation, Reflection & Restoration
• Encourages the body to naturally balance itself without instruments or aids and to co-ordinate it's systems in harmony with eachother.

Who can Benefit from Reflexology?

Young and old alike can benefit. However, the method of treatment should change in some cases. For example a much lighter, less indepth massage should be used for infants. Reflexology must not be used during the first three months of pregnancy. Reflexology can also be used on animals.

How often should treatments occur?

A minimum of forty eight hours should be allowed between treatments to permit the body to eliminate toxins released by the previous treatment and to evacuate them without stress. For more chronic conditions which have built up gradually, improvement may also be gradual therefore treatment once a week or once every two weeks may be required.To maintain good health and as a preventive measure once a month is recommended.
