Reflexology not the same as Foot Massage

26th July 2018

We're not talking ‘Pulp Ficton’ here folks! Remember those classic lines from that popular movie where John Travolta’s character discussed the prospects of providing an ‘innocent’ foot massage for his bosses wife? Massage is indeed conducive to relaxation but reflexology offers a more specific therapeutic approach.

Some calming foot massage techniques are used during the treatment of reflexology but reflexology itself is the application of specific types of pressure to the parts of the feet that are shown to correspond with organs and systems of your entire body. Reflexology, when expertly used, has been shown to improve circulation, relieve tension and bring balance to body and mind.

"Reflexology when expertly used, has been shown to improve circulation, relieve tension and bring balance to body and mind."

There is evidence of this type of treatment in ancient cultures (of Egypt and China for example) but the use of the term ‘reflexology’ is more associated with the work of Eunice Ingham who’s research continued on from the work of Dr. William Fitzgeralds ‘Zone Therapy’ in the early 1920’s. Eunice Ingham is known as the ‘mother of modern day reflexology’.

            Motivation & Focus        

    The reflexology treatment was wonderful! It was just what I needed. I started running again which I always enjoy but I had lost my motivation for a very long time. So, the next day knowing I had two hours free I just started jogging all along the west-peer and surroundings. Felt great and focused afterwards.

  •           Stress-free Zone           

    Caroline is an excellent therapist with extraordinary skills. The healing element is vital but she manages to put her clients in a total stress free zone. I adored the chimes as the music played by some therapists can be so very distracting. Caroline has healing hands and I felt excellent afterwards

                Walking on Air            

    Thank you so much for reflexology! Before treatment I was tired and my feet hurt from walking around. Afterward, I felt so much more energetic, I felt like I was walking on air and the swelling had gone down in my broken arm.
