What is reflexology?

Whilst the art of reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China, it wasn’t until 1913 that Dr William Fitzgerald introduced this therapy to the West as
‘zone therapy’. He noted that reflex areas on the feet and hands were
linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone. In the 1930’s Eunice Ingham further developed this zone theory into what is now known as reflexology

. She observed that congestion or tension in any part
of the foot is mirrored in the corresponding part of the body. Reflexology is a complementarytherapy, which works on the feet to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. How can reflexology help me? Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose or prescribe. Reflexology may be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle
therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own
healthy balance. Reflexology may help with the following:-

• Back Pain
• Migraine
• Fertility Issues
• Muscular & Joint Pain
• Sleep Disorders
• Sports Injuries
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Digestive Disorders
• Stress-related Conditions
• Clients living with Cancer
• Clients living with Disabling Neurological Conditions

Who can benefit from reflexology? Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief from a wide range of
acute and chronic conditions. After having completed a course of
reflexology treatment for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial
to continue with regular treatments in order to maintain health and well-being. While many people use reflexology as a way of relaxing the mind and body
and counteracting stress, at the same time many doctors, consultants and
other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy. With ever increasing levels of stress,it is important people take more responsibility for their own health care needs. Reflexology may help us to cope on a physical, mental and emotional level thereby encouraging us to heal and maintain health in all areas of our lives. What happens when I go for treatment? On the first visit, the reflexology practitioner will have a preliminary talk with you to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. The reflexologist will then use their hands to apply pressure to the feet. The application and the effect of the therapy are unique to each person. A professionally trained reflexologist
can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet, and by working on these points may affect the corresponding organ or system of the body.A treatment session usually lasts for about one hour. A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your body. How will I feel after a reflexology treatment? After one or two treatments your body may respond in a very definite way. Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; sometimes people
report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is transitory and is a part of
the healing process. This is vital information to feed back to the reflexologist as it
shows how your body is responding to treatment. This will help the reflexologist to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs. For further information & appointments contact -

The August full moon visible tonight is called the Sturgeon Moon because large sturgeon fish were most readily caught in the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water during this time of year. These atprehistoric-looking fish, sometimes referred to as "living fossils," were a crucial food source and deeply connected to the seasonal rhythms of life.
