Relaxing with Reflexology
In 2011 I was introduced to Reflexology as part of my Complementary Medicine Degree course and when it was time for the practical session I did not know what to expect and to be honest I was quite sceptical, although excited to learn more, how my perception changed!
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology-formerly known as Zone Therapy- is a complementary therapy which involves the Reflexologist applying pressure on parts of the feet or hands that correspond to certain parts of the body, the aim is to use these techniques to promote relaxation and aid the natural healing process of the body.
Where does Reflexology originate?
It is believed that as long ago as 5000 years BC treatments of the feet were undertaken in India and the oldest documentation was discovered in the tomb of an Egyptian physician called Ankmahor. Some, however, are not convinced.
How does it work?
The “Modern Day Zone Therapy” as it was known was developed on the principle that there are ten equal longitudinal zones that travel through the body from the toes and fingers to the brain.
The Zones were numbered from 1 – 5 outwards each way from the centre of the body with each toe being in each zone. It is believed that energy currents are channelled through these zones and if these zones are interrupted in any way by blockages, which are called imbalances of the body’s natural energy, organs in that particular zone will be affected (Keet 2008).
It is through research and dedication by many pioneers that I am able to offer reflexology sessions. The aim of my unique service is to offer Reflexology for Relaxation. Many of my clients have spoken of the excellent effects of taking time out for Reflexology.
The Big Question is...
Do you think Reflexology is for you?
Reflexology is not a therapy that aims to cure all disorders, as a qualified reflexologist I do not diagnose or claim to cure.
What happens in a session?

I’m a huge fan of the benefits or reflexology. I’m not qualified myself however I do work a few of the common pressure points when I’m feeling under the weather or have a headache. I thoroughly recommend it.
Thank-you for your comment Caroline, that’s wonderful that you gain benefit from working the pressure points.
