As soon as we allow the muscles of our body to weaken the muscle tissue in our feet gives way. The body structure goes down and one or more of the 26 bones in each foot may become misplaced causing undue pressure on some nerve ending.

A reflexology treatment lasts for 45 minutes. As it is just the feet that are being worked on you remain fully clothed, simply removing shoes and socks. You will be invited to relax on a treatment couch and your feet will be cleansed at the start of the treatment and then a variety of reflexology techniques will be used.
Reflexology treats the whole person, looking for the root cause not just the symptoms. Each body part corresponds to certain areas on the feet. The toes are said to correspond to the head and the neck. Each toe contains several reflex points including one for the brain and another for the teeth.

It should not be regarded as a cure for any conditions. Also, healing and curing are very different concepts. To cure is to erase symptoms and to heal is to create positive change within a person.
How often should I have a Reflexology treatment: If you have an ongoing health issue I recommend a few weekly sessions, and then on a monthly basis, or just a one off treatment if you are healthy and just need to unwind.
