What is Reflexology

Reflexology
is as old as civilisation itself and can be traced back to ancient Egypt, China, Primitive Africa and the native tribes of America.

What is Reflexology?
It is a gentle art and an extremely popular and effective form of therapeutic foot therapy.

Reflexology is considered to be a holistic healing technique that aims to treat the individual as a whole, in order to induce a state of balance and harmony in body, mind and spirit.

Reflexology provides deep relaxation thereby encouraging the body to heal itself. Although it does not claim to cure, gentle stimulation of the reflexes in the feet can help to restore energy and promote circulation, creating the right conditions for a return to health.
