Meraki Holistic Therapies 2.71

Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the principle that all the systems of the body are mapped out in reflex points on the feet and hands.Stimulation of the approximately 7,500 nerve endings in the feet helps to open up the natural pathways your body uses to nourish and heal it self. Tender or ‘gritty’ points indicate congestion in the corresponding area of the body. During the treatment a state of deep relaxation is created in the body, interrupting the pattern of stress and bringing balance to the body and its systems where there is imbalance. Reflexology is a well established holistic therapy which treats the mind and body as a whole to achieve a state of general well-being.

Reflexology is a renewal and maintenance programme for the body. It not only aids recovery but helps the body to maintain health. It is not necessary to have a ‘symptom’ to benefit from reflexology.

In a busy and unrelenting world, the positive effects of giving ourselves the ‘time out’ required to receive a treatment should not be underestimated.An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing and harmonising the body.
