Complementary Therapies

Reflexology is a gentle relaxing therapy that works on the reflex points on the feet or hands. It is based on the theory that congestion or tension in the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body. By relaxing the foot and gently working all the areas the whole body is helped to feel more balanced and relaxed. This may facilitate the healing of the physical and emotional body and allow change to take place in the person. It may help with:

acute and chronic conditions
stress related conditions
sleep disorders
hormonal imbalances
Sports injuries
