Angelic Feet Reflexology & Holistic Therapies

What is Reflexology?

Egyptian meaning: Client: "Please don't hurt me!" Therapist replies:" No, I shall act so you praise me!"
Reflexology has been used since ancient times and developed over the centuries to become what it is today... a highly effective relaxing treatment....

Reflexology is truly a holistic non-invasive therapy, where the practitioner sees the patient as a whole, treating mind, body and spirit.

On the soles of the feet... (to the reflexologist) there is a map of the organs of the body, the left foot corresponds to the left side of the body, and so does the right foot to the right side body.
Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy performed on the feet and using special manipulations with varying degrees of pressure to provide benefits to the client that are both physical and emotional...It is based on the principle that there are reflex zones in the feet which are linked by energy pathways to corresponding parts of the body and, when pressure is applied, it stimulates the movement of energy along these pathways.
The body is programmed to heal itself and this is happening all the time whether its a cut, bruise or torn muscle... so too do the systems of the body work together and continue to heal and repair.... in order for this to happen ENERGY is essential and this is provided by the food we digest.

If the balance is disrupted for any reason then the component parts will function less effectively. When a blockage occurs, caused by stress,injury or disease in one part, the restof the body compensates and works harder to try and achieve balance. This may eventually cause further problems.

Reflexology is a HOLISTIC treatment, as the aim of the reflexologist is to treat the whole person, body, mind and spirit to induce a state of balance and harmony, stimulating the body's own potential to heal both physically and emotionally.

The pressure for stimulating movement of energy along the pathways is applied using specific finger and thumb massage techniques and is quite different from general body or foot massage that provides manipulation of the soft tissues in the body. A good reflexologist has sensitive hands to perform the specialised techniques and has intuition and an understanding of human nature thus a having a friendly relationship between the client and therapist which also plays an important role in aiding the healing process.
