Foot Reflexology & Lymph Drainage Massage

REFLEXOLOGY
Foot reflexology focusses on the pressure points in the feet. The concept of putting pressure on specific points on the body dates back to the beginnings of traditional Chinese medicine over 2000 years ago. These can be the actual locations of discomfort, may be associated with “meridians” (energy lines) through the body, or may be the projections of the other anatomical parts of the body. The ear and hand are other major reflexology massage areas.
Benefits of reflexology include improved sleep patterns and blood circulation, reduced anxiety and stress, increased relaxation of tense muscles and reduction of pain in affected areas.
