What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the practice of improving your overall sense of well-being by applying pressure to various points on your feet. Basically, Reflexology practitioners believe that our feet are a ‘map’ of our bodies and if special points on our feet are manipulated with pressure and massage, physical and emotional changes can occur within us.
Reflexology believes that the different parts of your feet correspond with specific organs (and other things) in your actual body. For example: the tips of your toes represent your head, the ball of your foot represents your heart and the heel of your foot represents your intestines and your lower back.
Sounds a bit mad right? But there are a lot of people out there who firmly believe that Reflexology can work some wonders.

What happens during a treatment?
Well, you will be asked to remove your shoes and socks and to sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Then the practitioner will work their magic on your feet.

Afterwards, you’re likely to feel calm, relaxed and sometimes, a little bit sleepy.
