General effects of reflexology:
Reflexology can be effective for many conditions such as sciatica, joint stiffness, IBS, insomnia, back problems, digestive problems, urinary disorders and even some skin disorders.
Reflexology is an ancient holistic therapy which encourages natural healing of the entire body through treatment of the feet. There are ten energy pathways which run lengthways throughout the body. Every part of the body is reflected in the feet (and hands) and can therefore be treated via the reflex points in the feet through various manipulations with the therapist’s fingers and thumbs.
Whilst not a massage as such for most people this treatment is extremely relaxing and calming.
Reflexology is not a diagnostic procedure. The therapist is not doing the treatment to diagnose physical aliments.
