Reflexology

Service Description

Reduces stress and tension - Ongoing stress can affect us physically and emotionally, leading to a range of illnesses. Reflexology helps to induce a state of deep relaxation which reduces stress and allows the body to restore. Relieves common aches and pains - reflexology can promote the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. One UK study found that reflexology reduced general pain perception by up to 40%. Other studies focused on specific ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain, plantar fasciitis and menstrual pain - and found that reflexology could help reduce pain in all cases. Improves blood circulation - Improved circulation helps the blood deliver oxygen to all cells in your body and encourages cell growth. Your skin also benefits from better circulation to look brighter and more nourished. Better quality of sleep - Better sleep will leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to take on whatever the day brings. By combatting stress and anxiety levels through deep relaxation, your mind and body are more able to settle into deep rest. Improves overall mood - When a person feels stressed, the body’s natural flow of energy is blocked, leading to an imbalance. Reflexology helps to maintain your energy flow through regular sessions which leads to better emotional balance and ability to cope with what life offers. Nervous system regulation - being in a constant state of ‘fight-or-flight’ mode has been linked to a range of long-term health issues such as obesity and high blood pressure. Inducing a state of deep relaxation means that our parasympathetic NS can start to heal and allow the body to repair. Boosts the immune system - By improving circulation and removing stress, reflexology works to strengthen the immune system. Aids in the removal of toxins - if the natural flow of energy in your body is blocked, toxins may build-up. This accumulation can lead to a range of unwanted symptoms and pain. Consistent sessions of reflexology improves blood flow to organs and increase lymphatic drainage to remove toxins. Enhanced digestion - Studies suggest that reflexology can help improve digestion and alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating and especially constipation. Supports overall wellbeing - Reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptom or condition only. It’s complementary to medical treatment to support the body natural healing processes and energy flow.
