Reflexology

{back to therapies list}

REFLEXOLOGY involves massage to some reflex zones that are found in parts of the body like the feet, hands, ears (the iris of the eyes and the tongue are also reflex zones of the body but not used for treatment).

The most commonly used areas for treatment are the ones in the soles of the feet and palm of hands where they are arranged like a map of the whole body, and consequently reflexology proffers a method of treating the whole body and of treating the person as a whole.

The concept of reflex areas in the body has its origin more than 5,000 years ago, being used by the Chinese and other ancient civilizations, and this same concept is used in Ear Acupuncture.

These techniques help to improve ones health, promoting relaxation and stimulating important body functions, like the circulation and the elimination of toxins.

Reflexology is a very relaxing therapy and as a result your body starts to heal from any stress related disorder.

Reflexology can be used as a complementary therapy to the treatment of a series of health problems.

In my clinic, treatments are tailored to attend your individual needs and I frequently combine the reflex zones of feet and hands in the same session.
