What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-invasive, drug-free therapeutic practice of the application of soothing pressure on various reflexes points of your feet, hands, ears, face, etc. The aim of reflexology is to bring the body back into a perfect state of balance by allowing the energy to flow smoothly. The benefits of reflexology are significant in:

- Enhancing relaxation

- Improving circulation and the quality of sleep

- Encouraging lymphatic action and reducing pain and inflammation

Ultimately reflexology will support and boost the body’s efforts to function optimally and to heal itself especially following stress and fatigue, illness, surgery, injury or disease.
