This particular holistic treatment, the reflexology foot massage, dates back to 2500 BC and is known to have been practised in ancient Egypt and India. The Buddhist monks took it to China.

Different parts of the foot (reflexes) are linked by energy channels to different parts of the body. These energy channels can become blocked due to injury, stress or sometimes disease. Stimulating the reflexes in the feet can help free the blockages, and bring the body back into balance.

As reflexology is really about the body as a “whole”, it can be used to help bring relief to many of the problems we experience, both on an emotional and physical level.

Its benefits include:-

• Pain relief
• Stress relief
• Helps relieve insomnia
• Helps boost the immune system
• Increases the circulation
• Stimulates the nervous system

Please note this treatment may not be suitable for people with some serious medical conditions (if in doubt your Dr's permission should be sought), and is not suitable for ladies in the first 4 months of pregnancy.
