Reflexology

The ancient art of healing

What is Reflexology?

Originally known as Zone Therapy, Reflexology is an ancient healing art which is based on the theory that every gland, organ and structure in the body is reflected in the hands and on the feet.

Vital energy (Qi) circulates between the organs of the body, and to every living cell and tissue through ten zones running up and down the body. When blockages of energy occur along these zones this causes disorders and disease. Reflexologists aim to release these blockages by using specific pressure techniques helping the body to regain a balanced state.

Reflexology takes into consideration the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of the client and not just the physical symptoms.
