What is Reflexology?

At the turn of the 20th century Dr William Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat specialist developed reflex zone therapy, the beginnings of Reflexology as we know it today. Reflexology in essence is the study of the reflexes of the feet corresponding to every part of the body.

How does it work?

Reflexology teaches that a vital energy, or life-force circulates between the organs of the body, permeating every living cell and tissue. If this energy becomes blocked, the part of the body relating to the blockage is affected. Energy blocks in the human body can be felt in the feet. By using specific pressure techniques they can be detected through the experience of soreness or through the presence of ‘gritty areas’ often referred to as crystal deposits in the area of the body with an energy imbalance. The pressure and massage techniques taught in Reflexology are designed to dissipate energy blockages and break down crystalline structure.

Like acupuncture, Reflexology can be used as a preventative measure against ill-health as well as encouraging the body to self-heal. As reflexology is very enjoyable and relaxing, it can be particularly helpful for people suffering from stress and stress-related disorders. Reflexology can improve the circulation, help the lymphatic system and the body in eliminating toxins and impurities.
