Reflexology is one of the most natural and accessible forms of alternative
or complementary therapies available today as it encourages the body to heal itself,
without using any oils, lotions or tablets.
Reflexology is a holistic form of therapy treating the body as a whole and bringing the body’s energy back into balance (or homeostasis) to ensure better health & well being.
Reflexology is normally applied to the
feet, although it can be given to the hands if preferred.
| In reflexology the feet represent a map of the body with reflex points on the feet
(or hands) corresponding to specific organs of the body. The right foot relating to the right hand side of the body and the left foot relating to the left side.
The body is also divided into ten longitudinal zones, five on the right hand
side of the body and five on the left. Each zone extends from the toes to the brain and down to the
fingers, and extends from the front of the body to the back in equal widths at any
given point.
Organs of the body falling within a zone are linked by the energy running through that
zone and problems with one organ can relate to problems in another organ within the same zone.
Reflexology can help to balance the body's energy flow by treating both the symptoms of a problem and the underlying cause of the problem too.

The feet are
further divided into Transverse Zones, to reflect the
position of the reflex points more fully within the body.
