“Feet are a reflexologists domain; they specialise in feet
and are accustomed to seeing them in all shapes, sizes and conditions. The feet
represent the body and encompass a wealth of information about one’s state of
health. They are the keys to revealing where imbalances lie and play a vital
role in the enhancement of general health and well-being.” Inge Dougans.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic (complete) therapy based on the
principles that different points or reflexes on the feet, hands,
ears, arms, head, legs etc. correspond to different systems and or organs
of the body, providing the reflexologist with a body map. Your feet contain
over 7000 nerve endings along the reflex area. A reflexology treatment makes use of different
manual pressure techniques and equipment to stimulate these reflexes.
Applying thumb pressure to the reflexes stimulates the
movement of energy into the body via the body’s meridian (vital energy)
pathways. These pathways are congested by - lifestyle choices, environmental
factors, stress, illness, pain, fatigue etc. This stimulation produces
physiological changes, helping to restore health and balance to the body.
