A natural & gentle form of natural healing. |
Reflexology is a gentle form of natural healing that involves treatment by massage to the reflex areas of the feet.
The reflexes correspond to all the various parts and organs of the body and, therefore, reflexology offers a means to treat the whole body. It is a supportive and caring complementary therapy which is based on the body’s meridians. By massaging the feet or hands in a certain way blockages are cleared, leading to better health. In this way illness can also be prevented from happening, as the treatment helps to boost the immune system.
Regular reflexology treatments, covering the whole person can be one of the best ways to restore balance, health and vitality.
Treatments are supportive and caring and cover the maternity cycle from pre-conception through to pregnancy itself, induction and finally the post natal period. The main aim is to ensure that the mother stay as healthy and vitalised as possible during the cycle; thereby allowing them to focus totally on the baby and helping ensure as healthy a pregnancy as possible. Studies carried out in the UK and Denmark have shown that Reflexology can dramatically speed up labour and reduce pain. In a UK trial in the late 1980's, 37 pregnant women completed a course of 10 reflexology sessions. For these women, the second stage of labour lasted an average of 16 minutes, compared to the expected 1-2 hours. In Danish study at the Gengentofte Hospital in Copenhagen, meanwhile 68 women tried reflexology instead of drugs during labour. An impressive 61 percent said they experienced "outstanding" pain relief. Specific maternity treatments which relieve many of the common symptoms associated with pregnancy cycle
