Reflexology

An early form of Reflexology was first practiced over 5000 years ago in China and Egypt. Modern Reflexology is based on Zone Therapy where each foot is divided into five zones which correspond to different parts of the body.

How does it work?

Physical and mental stress can cause ‘imbalances’ in the body. These block the natural flow of energy, affecting the body’s ability to function effectively. By applying a firm but gentle pressure to the reflex points on the feet or hands these blockages are released.

The body is then able to ‘rebalance’ itself, circulation improves and a healing reaction can occur. Detoxification follows and a sense of well-being and self control is induced. The therapy is safe and gentle enough for all ages and a wide variety of conditions can be treated.

This safe and gentle balancing treatment can be used to help fertility and in pregnancy to help with wellbeing and to prepare the body for labour. For more information about therapies which support women in fertility, pregnancy and postnatally visit www.pregnancyandbirthnetwork.co.uk

How long does it take?

First sessions last about 1.5 hours, thereafter treatment takes 1 hour.
