Reflexology is a holistic form of therapeutic foot massage where pressure is applied to specific points on the feet. This pressure stimulates the body's natural ability to rebuild and repair itself. This systematic method of foot massage uses a variety of finger and thumb techniques that help to stimulate circulation and promote a deep state of relaxation. Inducing the relaxation response through reflexology reverses the stress response and enables the body to rebalance, rest, repair and regenerate.

The stress response, although beneficial when we need a burst of strength or speed can be debilitating, even life threatening when it is left unresolved. Since modern stressors are often symbolic rather then real, stress tends to go unresolved for long periods of time often causing illness.

Reflexology may help with many stress related complaints including:

• Tension and sinus headaches
• Migraine headaches
• Allergies
• Back pain
• Chronic pain
• Fatigue
• Digestive issues such as heart burn, indigestion and abnormal elimination patterns
• Insomnia
• Anxiety and Depression

Reflexology is a non-invasive modality that requires only the removal of your shoes and socks. This makes it a convenient treatment which may be suitable for people who may not be comfortable with full-body techniques.
