Reflexology

3rd Friday of every month

Reflexology is the systematic application of pressure techniques to the feet. Research has shown the specific techniques of reflexology to be effective in many ways - creating relaxation, easing pain and improving symptoms of health concerns.

This long time traditional practice has become a complement to medicine, as research has documented its effectiveness.

Benefits -

Stress reduction - by generating deep relaxation it allows the body to balance itself and promotes a natural flow of healing energy

Improved circulation - by reducing stress and tension it allows blood to flow freely throughout the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients, and removing the waste products of the metabolism and other toxins

Stimulated nerve function - there are more than 7000 nerves in the feet and stimulation encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways, as well as interrupting pain pathways

Improved immune system - it stimulates the lymphatic system and the production of endorphins, which reduces the risk of infection, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and gives a sense of well-being

Increased energy - it relaxes and opens up energy pathways, which increases energy throughout the body
