Reflexology

What does Reflexology do?

These techniques are designed to dissipate blockages within the body’s organs and systems. When we detect blockages we use specific pressure techniques on the troubled area, by doing this we are breaking down crystalline structures and are encouraging self-healing and homeostasis. During the treatment we are also stimulating the lymphatic, cardiovascular and immune systems, encouraging the release of built-up toxins to naturally cleanse and detox the body.

Reflexology is commonly used to alleviate pain and discomfort but should also be used as a preventative measure in maintaining a healthy body system. We can also custom blend an aromatherapy oil tailored to your needs, and add in hot stones.

The number of reflexology sessions varies and is determined by your health and your reasons for seeking reflexology. Results from reflexology are often subtle and are cumulative. You are more likely to see greater benefits from regular sessions.

Benefits of Reflexology

• The metabolic rate of the body slows down.

• Boosts your immune system.

• Reduces aches & pains.

• Improves sleep patterns.

• Breathing becomes more regular and the heart rate comes down to normal range.

• The blood lactate level also falls significantly. Lactate is responsible for the muscular fatigue.

• Blood pressure decreases.

• Brain waves are altered in a beneficial way

• The body secretes protective mood altering neurotransmitters. One of these, known as serotonin, is a powerful hormone associated with feelings of happiness, contentment and relaxation.

• The relaxation induced through reflexology can be helpful in reducing anxiety.

‘Holistic’ – it’s a word you’ve probably heard used a lot but what does it actually mean?   The term ‘holistic’ comes from the Greek word ‘holos’ which means ‘whole’.  It’s the practice of taking the whole person into account rather than just the symptoms of a particular illness or disease.  Holistic therapies such as Reflexology are underpinned by the idea that health is the result of harmony between the body and the mind. Therefore, you will find the focus during any holistic therapy is not purely on physical symptoms you may have, but equal attention is paid to how all your body systems are working together.  Furthermore, all of this is considered in the context of what psychological, social or environmental factors may be having an impact on you at the time too.

Stresses of any kind, be they physical, psychological, social or environmental can upset this balance and cause ‘dis-ease’.  You may be experiencing a symptom in one part of your body, but the cause may originate somewhere else – in another body system, the result of a nutritional deficiency or a physical symptom brought on by emotional conflict or stress going on in your life. 

Consider the situation where ‘flu is doing the rounds in the office.  Not everybody will catch it.  Why?  They are all exposed to the same bug so it must be the internal environment within each body – their state of wellbeing at that moment – that’s the deciding factor in who goes down with flu and who doesn’t.   It’s becoming more and more evident that the onset of illness as well as our ability to heal is greatly influenced by our emotional and psychological state. 

Reflexology and other holistic therapies do not see you as a collection of separate parts but as one amazing, dynamic energy system which comes complete with its own powerful chemistry set and internal pharmacy.  All your thoughts and feelings get translated into chemicals that fire off throughout your body altering the behaviour of your cells. A sad feeling will influence the cells of your tear ducts and make them produce tears and a funny joke or lovely memory will release feel-good hormones and lighten your mood.

The profoundly calm and relaxed state of being enjoyed by many during a Reflexology treatment provides the ideal conditions for ‘Bodymind’ rebalancing and healing to take place.  It is thought that in this state the mind quiets and chemicals are released which help to balance the digestive system, bring the heart rate down and reduce the amount of stress hormones in the body.  This in turn can help to reduce and relieve the many stress related symptoms which are responsible for over 70% of visits to our GPs.   In this way, holistic therapies can have a vital part to play in maintaining bodymind health and wellbeing.
