What is reflexology?
The art of reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt, India and China.
The therapy was introduced to the west in the early 1900s, when Dr. William Fitzgerald developed 'zone therapy'. He belived that reflex areas on the hands and feet were linked to corresponding areas and organs of the body within the same zone.
In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory into what we now recognise as modern Reflexology.
Put simply, Reflexology is a deep healing foot treatment that's really so much more than just a massage.
It has many benefits which could include:
- Promoting relaxation.
- Improved circulation of blood, nutrients and nerve signals.
- Improved Health. Boost the immune system.
- Release of Endorphins. A chemical which helps to reduce pain and stress.
Reflexology cannot diagnose or claim to cure medical conditions.
How often should I get Reflexology?
How often you attend Reflexology depends entirely on what you want to achieve through your treatment. If you have a specific issues, weekly sessions for 4-6 weeks is best. Thereafter, monthly sessions as and when you feel the need.
Many people use Reflexology to help them relax and unwind, and have a bit of time out for themselves. In this case, monthly treatment will propbably be enough but you should book an appointment as and when you feel your body needs it.
