Therapies: Reflexology
Why?
Today’s fast paced life-style takes it toll on all of us, resulting in imbalances in the body, which manifest in feeling of stress, tiredness, aches & pains and a depleted immune system. Reflexology can restore your body’s balance. If you are currently at the bottom of your list of priorities it may be time you booked yourself in for a treatment.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is based on the principle that the whole body is reflected in the feet, reflexes in the feet relate to the all of the body’s structures & their functions. With the application of thumb & finger pressures on these reflex points it is possible to affect the corresponding points in the body, stimulating it to restore its natural balance.
The treatment
You only need to remove your shoes and socks for treatment. First your feet are cleaned with a refreshing blend of rosewater & witch hazel, followed by a relaxing foot massage. The reflexology treatment is a series of intensely relaxing pressures applied to specific points of the foot. Treatment is completed with a foot massage.
