Reflexology

Reflexology at Oscailt

Dating back to Ancient Egypt, reflexology is the practice of treating reflex points in the feet and hands that relate to corresponding parts of the body. Each organ and structure within the body is linked to the feet by energy channels or meridians. When our physical or emotional health is weakened or compromised by illness or stress, these channels become blocked or congested. Reflexology can be used very effectively to facilitate the free flow of energy and thus restore the body to its more natural state of health and well-being. By applying gentle pressure and using specific techniques and movements, reflexology can both identify and support the areas of the body which are in need of strengthening and healing. Although the feet are more usually treated, the hands may be equally effectively worked with.

The Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology is suitable for all ages and stages of life. It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy which may bring relief from a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions as well as working more preventatively in helping the body to maintain overall health and well-being.

It is important to note that reflexology is not a diagnostic tool but may be used very effectively both in its own right to treat existing medical conditions and also to support and complement other treatments and therapies.
