It is thought that around seventy five percent of all illnesses are stress related. Excessive stress disrupts the hormones and functioning of organs and glands in the body and can have a detrimental affect on our health, compromising our immune system and making us more susceptible to illness and disease. Reflexology is a wonderfully relaxing complementary therapy that works to relieve the effects of stress and encourage the body to heal. It is a safe, natural, non-invasive therapy which is suitable for all ages. The art of Reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt and works on the principle that each organ or part of the body is represented by reflex points on the feet and hands. By using a technique of applying gentle pressure or massage to these reflexes, a reflexologist may help to stimulate a response or reaction in the corresponding part of the body. There are many benefits from receiving this calming and relaxing treatment.
