The practice of reflexology spans as far back as 5000 years, with roots in ancient Egypt, China and India. Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the idea that specific points on the feet correspond to different organs and systems within the body. By applying gentle pressure to these points, reflexology promotes relaxation, improves circulation and supports the body’s natural healing process. Many people report better sleep, pain relief and an overall sense of balance and well-being.

Respiratory Issues

Reflexology aids in managing respiratory issues by targeting specific reflex points in the feet that correspond to the lungs, diaphragm and breathing functions. It promotes healing and balance, reducing stress that aids in managing respiratory conditions.

Musculoskeletal Pain

Through targeting certain reflex points in the feet, reflexology can help to alleviate pain and discomfort. It promotes healing and restores balance, helping to repair damaged joints and reduce stress. Reflexology also helps improve circulation and helps to reduce the symptoms of pain.

Diabetes

Reflexology supports overall well-being by reducing stress, enhancing circulation and fostering relaxation. Although it does not cure diabetes, it helps to manage the symptoms. Through specific reflexes in the feet, it can promote a sense of balance and manage stress levels that can negatively impact the body’s production of glucose.

Chronic Illness

Reflexology helps chronic illness by promoting relaxation, improving circulation and enhancing the body’s own self-healing abilities. It reduces stress and anxiety, which can exacerbate already existing chronic pain and conditions. Reflexology also stimulates the release of endorphins, acting as your body’s own natural painkiller. It can improve sleep quality, often disrupted by chronic pain, and additionally can support the immune system, reduce inflammation and balance hormonal function.
