Ten Reasons to See a Reflexologist
Reflexology is an amazing therapy whose effectiveness in treating a range of ailment has been proven time and time again. The therapist "reads" the client's feet or hands to establish problem areas then uses a variety of techniques to break down crystals and other waste products thus improving circulation and nerve conduction to the corresponding body part or organ. The treatment is oh so relaxing...

1. Stress
Stress has been shown to be an important factor in many serious illnesses. It can also leave us tired, irritable and out to sorts. Often we push ourselves to "get things done" and the result can be extremely counterproductive to say the least. For stress clients (most of us!!) reflexologists will work on reflexes to boost the immune system & alleviate stress. The relaxation effect of any therapy is vitally important as our bodies can only repair themselves when we stop running on adrenalin.

2. Feet tired & aching from long periods of standing/activity
The reflexologist begins by using a variety of manipulating techniques to ease tension from the feet. S/he will also focus on the reflexes for your aching back and shoulders.

3. Respiratory Conditions
Reflexology can be amazingly effective for even chronic respiratory complaints which defy antibiotics. By reducing crystals & other waste products in the lung reflexes the body is able to do what it knows how to do- heal itself!!

4. Diabetes
With this condition is doubly important to take care of your feet Regular reflexology can be very helpful in increasing your comfort. It enhances all other treatments, both medical and alternative.

5. Detoxification
Reflexology is a very powerful detoxifying treatment and extremely beneficial where a build-up of toxins has caused or aggravated skin conditions, digestive complaints etc. Reflexology gently rebalances the system at this time.

6 Pregnancy
Reflexology is very effective for morning sickness, aches & pains, stress and many other conditions whether pregnancy related or not. Prior to pregnancy the therapist will focus on balancing the endocrine (hormone) system, regulation the metabolism, increasing circulation to the pelvic area and reducing stress. Our therapists have specialised training in Maternity reflexology

7. Digestive Complaints
This is a superb therapy for IBS, constipation, diarrhea, and may other digestive complaints. The therapist will focus on the organs of digestion as well as on stress and energy levels

8. Headaches/Migraines
This is a very effective therapy for frequent headaches and migraines. Not only can it dissipate a headache it can reduce the severity and frequency of headaches.

9. Insomnia
One treatment induces relaxation and often a good night's sleep. Regular treatments re-educate the body and help establish & maintain a good sleeping pattern. Ideally treatments should be in the mid/late evening and clients should be collected if possible.

10. Maintaining Good Health
Reflexology restores homeostasis the internal balance of the body. It can affect the organs and other parts of the body that are not easily accessible with other treatments.
