Reflexology along with maternity Reflexology
Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet, using specific thumb and finger techniques. It is based on a system of zones that reflect an area in the body and it is believed that such pressure can effect physical change within the body.
Reflexology counteracts the effects of stress by promoting relaxation and balance.
Reflexology stimulates nerve endings, releasing energy, relaxes muscles and restores physical harmony.
Reflexology keeps the body’s circulation flowing smoothly and rejuvenates tired tissues.
When the lymphatic, urinary or intestinal systems becomes blocked due to buildup of toxins and wastes, you may feel bloated or lethargic. Reflexology can release blockages, eliminating toxins and wastes, encouraging the body to restore its own natural balance. The treatment is relaxing and pleasurable as well as invigorating and energizing.
