REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENT
Christopher is a member of the
International Council of Holistic Therapists.
The holistic way to health emphasises the care of the whole person, not just their physical level but emotional and mental levels also. Because all of these systems interrelate, dysfunction on any one level can lead to disorder in other parts of the body. Reflexology treatment works on these fundamental principals.
WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY ?
Every organ, structure and system of the body is mirrored in the feet and hands. They are connected through a system of energy within the body and if congestion occurs the body function is less effective. During a reflexology session I seek to relax tension and direct the free flow of energy throughout the body thus encouraging normalization of bodily functions and its capacity for self-healing.
WHAT DOES A TREATMENT INVOLVE ?
Using thumb and finger pressure over both feet. This enables detection and correction of imbalances in the corresponding parts of the body. Treatment usually induces a deep state of relaxation which in turn helps to alleviate physical and mental stress considered to be the cause of so much ill health. Treatment sessions last for about forty five minutes and the number of treatments varies with individual needs. Usually results are evident after 4-6 treatments and ideally the treatment should be "topped-up" once a month. Reflexology does not conflict with orthodox medical treatments
WHO CAN IT HELP ?
The therapy is suitable for all age groups, from babies to old age. It should not be regarded as a cure-all but most conditions can respond to treatment. These include muscular tension, back problems, migraine, insomnia, arthritis, emotional problems, menstrual menopausal problems, asthma and others. People with conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis can also derive benefit and the quality of life improves.
DO I HAVE TO BE ILL TO RECEIVE REFLEXOLOGY ?
Reflexology has great preventive value. It is not just those with obvious health problems that can benefit from treatment. An occasional course of treatment is a pleasant way of maintaining health and well-being.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Evidence found in the ancient tombs of Egypt dated 2,300BC indicate that the healing powers of this therapy had been discovered. Evidence also shows that around the same period China was engaged in Zone Therapy including acupuncture, acupressure and reflexology.
There is also evidence that most of the ancient civilisations found this therapy to be of great benefit. In modern times the art of reflexology was re- discovered by an American Ear, Nose and Throat specialist called Dr. William Fitzgerald. His work was enhanced by Eunice Ingham who is widely regarded as the pioneer of Reflexology in its modern form and it is her technique that is used today.
Reflexology may appear to be a simple form of treatment, but the results can be remarkable.
