Practitioner Description:
Reflexology is another of the ‘energy’ therapies akin to Acupuncture, Reiki, Shiatsu, Tai Chi etc. Like these therapies reflexology attempts to restore balance and health to the physical and mental body by releasing energy blocks in the meridians or zones therefore restoring the Yin and the Yang to optimum balance. Reflexology is an ancient, holistic art originating, some 5000 years ago, in China. The ancient Egyptians also used a form of reflexology, as shown in a wall-painting in a tomb dating about 2300 BC at Saqqara, south of Cairo. The meridians/ zones run through and down the body to the feet. By stimulating what they call ‘reflex areas’ in the feet blockages are removed returning the body to equilibrium. In reflexology the feet are regarded as a mirror of the body with the left foot representing the left-hand side and the right foot the right-hand side. The effect of reflexology is to encourage the body to heal itself, naturally, without the use of drugs.
Whilst not a ‘cure-all’ Reflexology has been used successfully to treat a whole range of problems such as: Infertility, Back Pain, Digestive Problems, Headaches/Migraines, Period Problems, Sinus Problems, Stress and much more.
