What is reflexology?
Whilst the art of reflexology dates back to
ancient Egypt, China and India, it wasn’t
until 1913 that Dr William Fitzgerald
introduced his therapy to the West as ‘zone therapy’.
He noted that reflex areas on the feet and hands were
linked to other areas and organs of the body within the
same zone. In the 1930’s Eunice Ingham further developed
this theory into what is known today as Reflexology.
She observed that congestion or tension in any part of
the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body.
Reflexology works on the feet to help heal the whole person not
just the symptoms. |
| How can reflexology help me?
This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore it’s own healthy balance.
Reflexology has been shown to be effective for: |
| |
• Stress-related conditions
• Migraine
• Infertility
• Arthritis
• Sleep disorders
• Sports injuries
• Hormonal imbalances
• Digestive disorders |
| (Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe) |
| |
• Reflexology is a deeply relaxing therapy which most people
find de-stressing, therefore improvements can also be noticed on
an emotional and mental level which gives the client a greater
ability to cope. |
| Who can benefit from reflexology? Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief
from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. |

What happens when I go for a treatment?
The first appointment will take approximately 1½ hours
(subsequent treatments 1 hour) and will include a
consultation to determine your present and past health
and lifestyle. During treatment the reflexologist will use
skilfully applied pressure to specific points on the feet.
A professionally trained reflexologist can detect subtle
changes in specific points on the feet and by working these
points may affect the corresponding organ or system.
After having completed a course of treatments for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial to continue regular treatments in order to maintain health and well being.
