It could be likened to an MOT for the body and mind and is the perfect therapy to reduce stress and tension plus it is suitable for all ages.

Benefits of Reflexology

Stimulated Nerve Function – By stimulating more than 7,000 nerves in the feet, reflexology encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. It interrupts pain pathways, reducing pain.

 

Improved Immune System – Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system thus reducing risk of infection. It cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and also stimulates the production of endorphins, leading to an improved immune system and sense of well-being.

 

Increased Energy – Reflexology revitalises energy throughout the body by relaxing and opening up energy pathways.
