Reflexology Kate Fogarty Crannog Lodge 2.06

Reflexology is a technique of applying gentle pressure to reflex areas on the feet or hands to bring about a state of deep relaxation and to stimulate the body's own healing processes. It is a natural therapy that can also facilitate more vital energy, help boost the immune system and create a stronger body and calmer mind.
Reflexology is a safe, natural therapy that helps to give your body what it needs - that might be conceiving or carrying a baby to full term, a reduction in the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, assistance in losing weight or in feeling younger and looking healthier.
THE THEORY
The theory underlying reflexology is that the organs, nerves, glands, skeletal system and other parts of the body are connected to reflex points on the feet or hands.
By stimulating these reflex points using a compression technique and a type of massage with thumbs, fingers and hands, you can create a direct response in a related body area.
Reflexology is all about bringing balance, harmony and a sense of well being to the body. At times we can feel out of sorts and our body needs equilibrium in order to keep working healthily. Even a light reflexology treatment can help create this sense of balance.
Reflexology is not a therapy to diagnose illness - it is not a medical treatment. it does not cure - only the body can do that. Instead it facilitates healing within the body.
It is virtually impossible to determine how long it will take an individual to feel and enjoy the benefits of reflexology. Everything starts with one small step but it is the commitment to reflexology that can drive forward a positive outcome.......
