REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an acupressure therapy with origins in many ancient cultures which sees ‘reflex’ points relating to the entire body mapped out on the feet and hands. Applying pressure to these ‘reflexes’ triggers a response in the body that is balancing in nature, and will either stimulate or soothe the area, organ or system being worked, as required to achieve the optimal state of equilibrium.
Whilst simply working with what the feet present in any given moment, I do have a strong orientation towards the nervous and endocrine systems finding that so many issues have their roots here.
Craniosacral Therapy also strongly informs the way I sense and relate to the body through the feet which has a definite impact on each treatment, as do the principles and practice of The Metamorphic Technique®.
Reflexology is deeply relaxing, and treatments usually include some gentle massage and manipulation to release the bony structures of the feet. It is suitable for anyone and it’s possible to work completely on the hands where treatment of the feet is contraindicated.
