Reflexology is an ancient practice, in which various areas of the ears, hands and feet are pressed at different pressures, gently stimulating the nerve endings to promote pain and tension relief.
Our holistic philosophy always welcomes non-invasive treatments as we seek out ways to help our members elevate their wellbeing naturally. Reflexology, performed by our expert practitioners, is a long-standing practice that relies on intuitive movements, selective pressure and calm expertise. Rooted in the ancient Chinese belief in ‘qi’ (pronounced “chee”), meaning “vital energy,” which flows through the body to maintain balance and health, the philosophy believes that stress and tension can block the flow of qi, leading to imbalances that may cause illness.
Reflexology seeks to restore harmony by ensuring qi flows freely throughout the body. Practitioners rely on detailed maps of pressure points on the feet, hands, and ears, which correspond to various organs and systems. By applying pressure to these points, reflexologists aim to stimulate energy flow to specific areas, promoting healing and overall wellbeing. As the nervous system impacts the rest of your body’s systems and bears a lot of responsibility for your overall wellbeing, releasing tension and stored blockages from those areas promotes ease and relief in other crucial systems.
While a traditional massage works from the outside in, manipulating soft tissues to relax the muscles, Reflexology uses the body’s nervous system to provide healing from the inside out for the entire body.
Beyond the physical benefits, Reflexology offers a deeply relaxing and restorative experience, helping to release tension and reconnect with your inner vitality. More than just a wellness treatment, it acts as a pathway to balance, healing, and renewal for both body and mind.
Pressure is applied to specific points to help the body realign its energy so that the body can fully immerse in a deep state of relaxation. Many note that this release of stress helps them recover from anxiety and depression, when treatment is performed frequently.
The body’s reflexes work to trigger muscle groups and organs, so that they can get back into alignment and function properly. Reflexology is particularly helpful for those with rheumatoid arthritis and migraines, but it is effective in treating many types of pain, as it works with the body to release unwanted tension.
In releasing pain and tension, Reflexology opens up the circulatory pathways to allow the blood to flow freely as it delivers necessary oxygen to crucial organs and tissues within the body.
The deeper state of relaxation along with improved circulation allow the body to enter deeper stages of sleep more easily. As a result, the quality of sleep improves, enhancing the immune, nervous and respiratory systems. By moving the body back into proper balance, Reflexology helps the immune system do its job of fighting off infection. It assists in reducing inflammation throughout the body, so that you can enjoy optimised wellbeing.
By improving your body’s circulation and reducing its pain response, Reflexology helps you recover from injuries quicker,, as the body realigns and regains its natural ability to heal.
Beyond its deeply relaxing nature, Reflexology enhances circulation, supports immune function, improves sleep quality, and accelerates healing, offering a transformative experience that nurtures your unique mind, body and spirit connection.. It is a journey of inner peace and restoration, elevating your wellbeing with every touch.
