FIVE ELEMENTS REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is the application of gentle pressure to specific reflex points in order to bring about a serene state of relaxation and encourage the body’s natural healing response. Traditional reflexology is an ancient practice that focuses on the foot reflexes, with the belief that they are energetically linked to other organs and systems within the body.
Whilst stress is a normal physiological response to many daily experiences, distress or chronic stress can have a dangerous effect on our bodies. The aim is for us to develop and maintain a state of homeostasis, where our mind and body are balanced and in harmony. However, when there is a malfunction in the body, or a period of prolonged stress, it is thrown off balance and homeostasis is disturbed , but there is hope. Reflexology helps the body to sustain a natural equilibrium.
