What is reflexology & what are the benefits?
What to expect during a session
During a reflexology session, you will be asked to remove your shoes and socks and relax in a comfortable chair, or on a treatment couch. The therapist will then use their hands to apply pressure to specific points on your feet, or sometimes hands. You may experience a tingling or relaxing sensation, but the therapy should not be painful.
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic complimentary therapy using pressure techniques to stimulate points on the hands and/or feet, that correspond to different tissues & organs of the body, stimulating the body's natural healing process. Reflexologists do not diagnose, and reflexology will not cure disease, but it will help to restore balance, ease symptoms, work with the body’s natural ability to heal, and bring a sense of well-being.
The benefits of reflexology
Reflexology can help alleviate stress and anxiety, improve circulation, boost the immune system, balance hormones, support menopausal symptoms, ease symptoms of digestive issues, skin disorders, ease headaches and help with insomnia by promoting overall wellbeing.

In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist working for a physician, used zone therapy on patients to reduce pain. She mapped the entire body as represented on the feet. Ingham later developed her work into the Ingham Reflex Method of Compression Massage, which became known as reflexology.
