Reflexology and Facial Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is the technique of applying controlled pressure to points and zones on the feet and/or hands in order to bring about a state of deep relaxation, to stimulate the body’s own healing processes and to help the person to return to a state of balance and well-being.

Although dating back to Ancient Egypt, it wasn’t until around 1930 that the art of Reflexology was introduced to the western world. Since then, Reflexology has been further developed and researched. The methods now used are a combination of Reflexology based on oriental medicine and acupuncture, zone therapy and stimulation of points corresponding to nerve endings.

What is Facial Reflexology?

Working manually on specific points and zones in the face produces a profound sense of relaxation, whilst, at the same time, stimulating the circulation. With Facial Reflexology we are connecting directly to the Central Nervous System, resulting in a quick response to the treatment. Few sessions are usually necessary before benefits are realised.
