Nerve endings embedded in the hands and feet connect all areas of the body through the spinal cord. Stimulation of these nerve endings helps to promote relaxation, stimulate vital organs and encourages the natural healing processes of the body. A Reflexology treatment involves light, yet firm massage of the soles and tops of the feet. This massage does not make use of oils. The reflex points are small and precision is important.
Many patients experience dramatic results following the first sessions.
Although all areas of the body will be affected by the treatment the therapist will usually concentrate on problem areas. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of Reflexology in treating PMS, constipation, labour pains and nervous exhaustion.
