Treatment - Reflexology

Reflexology is a relaxing foot massage, and its origins date back to Egyptian times. It works on the reflex points of the feet, which are connected to the rest of the body through energy channels, running up and down the body.
Working these reflex points will have a beneficial and therapeutic effect on the body. Reflexology helps with improving circulation, and it stimulates the nervous system. Reflexology can be highly effective in combating the negative effects of stress. Reflexology is also very beneficial during pregnancy, for relaxing and calming stress levels both in mother and baby. If applied from 3 months onward it has been known to help labour proceed easier and encourages the baby to feel able to enter the world, with less anxiety. If you are thinking of having Reflexology and suspect you may be pregnant then please be advised to wait until completion of your first trimester; this is not to say Reflexology is capable of harmful side effects, but merely a precaution in benefit of the client. Its destressing and calming qualities make reflexology a lovely gift to give to a loved one for special occasions.
