Reflexology has been practised for thousands of years.   It is a gentle healing treatment which dates back to ancient Egypt and China. An example can be seen in Egyptian tomb art work dating from around 2000BC.  This depicts a scene of the giving and receiving of foot and hand massage.

​

Reflexology is a balancing treatment based on a system of zones and reflex areas that relate to all the organs and systems of the body.  When pressure is applied to these reflexes it can help balance the body part relating to it which can promote healing, relaxation and relief of symptoms.

Remarkably the bone along the inside edge of each foot is exactly the same shape and curvature as your spine so when I work along that bone on your foot, I am working your spine reflex which can help bring relief to back and neck pain

As with the spine, the whole body is mapped out on the feet, which means I can work on a specific point on your feet to treat a specific point in your body
