Power of Reflexology

According to a study at the University of Portsmouth, Reflexology can raise pain thresholds as well as tolerance.  It can used on its own  or alongside medication for pain relief.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a massage of pressure points on the feet for activating the healing powers of the body. From ancient text, illustrations and artifacts, we know that the early Chinese, Japanese,Indians, Russians, and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health. Today many of these same techniques have been developed into a modern scientific method called reflexology. Some benefits of Reflexology include:

• Improves circulation

• Cleanses the body of toxins and impurities

• Balances the whole system

• Revitalizes energy

• Preventive health care

• Stimulates creativity and productivity.

A course of 6 treatments is recommended for maximum results.

98% of all illnesses are stress related, so it is important to include some stress management and “me time” into your life to keep yourself healthy.
