Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient Oriental technique that enhances the flow of energy and circulation, and restores the harmony of our essence to the body, mind and spirit. When finely tuned, our body has a natural flow of energy that positively affects every internal organ. The flow of energy takes specific paths throughout our body and converges on the feet and hands at what Reflexologist refer to as reflex points.
By applying pressure to the reflex points on our feet and hands the natural flow of energy is revitalized. The pressure applied to the reflex points is a soothing combination of gentle and sometimes deep massage-like movements.
Reflexology enhances the body's natural healing ability by increasing the natural flow of energy and circulation throughout the body. This natural flow of energy courses through ten specific body pathways and positively affects every internal organ, gland and cell in our structure. Each of these ten pathways converge in the feet and hands. The convergence of the pathways is called the reflex points.
By applying soothing pressure to the reflex points on the feet and hands, circulation and energy flow are revitalized. The revitalized circulation gently increases energy flow and cleanses the system of toxins and blockages.
Symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, lack of concentration, back pain and arthritis are merely symptoms and not the root cause of dis-ease . The Reflexologist believes that these symptoms could result when the natural flow of energy and circulation is blocked or interrupted.

Additional Information on Reflexology Therapy
Reflexology is a form of ancient Chinese and Egyptian healing centered around the massage of reflex areas in the feet and lower leg. Each part of the foot corresponds to a part of the body with the left foot representing the left side of the body and the right foot representing the right side. Half way down each foot, a line can be drawn which corresponds to the waist line of the body. The organs in the upper part of the body have their reflex areas in the upper part of the foot, and those in the lower part of the body have their reflex areas in the lower part of the foot.
Although reflexology is an ancient therapy, it was not until the beginning of the century that it became known to the Western world. An American doctor, William Fitzgerald, became interested in the possibility of treating organs through pressure points distant from the actual organs themselves, and described how the body could be divided into ten vertical zones. Thus if the right kidney is located in a certain zone in the body, its reflex point would be found in the same zone on the right foot. From this point, treatment can be applied.
HOW CAN IT HELP YOU ? Recent surveys carried out along scientific lines reveal that reflexology has helped a wide number of people with conditions such as stress, back pain, migraines, period-related problems and many other symptoms. Examples of specific illnesses being aided by reflexology are diabetes, sciatica, angina and multiple sclerosis.
TREATMENT One treatment can be of significant help, although a number of treatments within a short space of time would be ideal - it is then that the real results happen.
