Reflexology facilitates good health
Correctly applied Reflexology pressure techniques allow subtle changes to take place in the body that facilitate internal balance. Reflexology works to maintain health and balance in much the same way as regular exercise would in maintaining a firm, toned body. Patients should therefore continue with a maintenance programme of Reflexology treatments once they have achieved a desired level of health.
What is a Reflexologist?
Reflexology is a science and an art. It involves a foot, ear, face or hand treatment to encourage healing in the body. Nerves, circulation and lymphatic drainage are stimulated. Detox may make you tired!
Vacuflex Boots: These are vacuum boots which are additional to the foot massage. The feet are sealed in a boot where the air is removed for 5 mins. Wonderful for ankle injuries and to stimulate circulation. When the boots are removed, the feet are usually many different colours, showing stress, acid etc in various places within the reflexes.

Facilitates a state of relaxation
Reflexology works towards the normalisation of body functions, easing tense muscles, inducing the endocrine glands to function normally and hastening the elimination of toxins. Reflexology brings about a state of relaxation and tension release in the body that promotes improved circulation, increased levels of organ functioning and a more effective distribution of nutrients.
Encourages lifestyle changes
Reflexology is not a “quick-fix” technique. Similar to a previously overweight person needing to maintain a regime of healthy nutrition and regular exercise, so too should a Reflexology patient adopt lifestyle changes that will support continued good health once their body is in balance and functioning properly. A Reflexologist should assist in this process by passing on their knowledge about issues such as stress reduction and relaxation, and the value of sound nutrition practices and a balanced lifestyle.
Achievement harmony and equilibrium
When the body is functioning optimally, it is in a state of homeostasis or balance. The goal of Reflexology is to assist the body to return to this state of balance by facilitating the elimination of toxins and the decongestion of blockages. Reflexologists do not claim to heal the body or cure disease. Reflexology, as a treatment and holistic healing approach, can only assist the body to perform its functions naturally.
