Reflexology
Is now considered one of the most popular forms of complementary therapy and is proving to be effective for many health conditions; hayfever, sinusitis, migraine, digestive disorders, sports injuries and many stress related problems

Generally the treatment involves stimulation of specific pressure points found on the soles of the feet but it can also be carried out on the hands.

By systematically working these points and nerve endings, the therapist can help to disperse any blockages in energy and assist the body to eliminate waste and toxins. It improves blood circulation, the lymphatic system and to regulate homeostasis.

Whilst the treatment is deeply relaxing, it can leave you feeling more centred and with a renewed vitality. Healing responses following reflexology are possible and these will always be explained by the therapist prior to commencing the session.
