Reflexology is a gentle non-intrusive holistic therapy which has been practised for thousands of years.
It is based on the principle that the feet are a map of the body. There are specific reflex points in the feet and hands that correspond to each organ and part of the body.
To see the reflexology foot map click here www.aor.org.uk and follow link for the interactive foot and hand maps.
Using gentle pressure and massage reflexology can help many health problems in a natural way.
It is a method of activating the natural healing process of the body to promote balance/equilibrium within the body. This is achieved by working to normalise the body’s function to work effectively and efficiently.
Who can benefit from Reflexology?
Reflexology can work well for all ages. You don’t need a “problem” to benefit from reflexology as it is a therapy which helps reduce tension, alleviate stress and promote a sense of wellbeing and overall relaxation.
It can help increase energy levels, improve circulation and encourage a stronger immune system.
Reflexology may be effective for:
- Stress related conditions
- Hormonal imbalance
- Digestive disorders
- Neck, shoulder and back pain
- Migraine and headaches
- Fertility issues
- Sleep disorders
- Support during pregnancy
- Support for people with cancer
Reflexology does not diagnose or cure but can support people living with health conditions and those wanting to optimise their wellbeing.
At your first appointment your reflexologist will carry out a full health consultation. Your reflexology treatment will then be tailored to your specific needs.
Typically a reflexology appointment will last 1 hour, with treatment time of 45 minutes.
Please allow 1hr 15mins for your first appointment.
The reflexologist practitioners at Keats are Emily Barton and Marina Constantinou
