Reflexology

"Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing; by reducing stress in people’s lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience. It is a touch therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears correspond with different areas of the body and reflexologists work these points and areas.

However reflexology is viewed, there can be no doubt that what it does provide is a period of time for relaxation where the client has one to one attention and supportive touch in an empathetic listening environment. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard healthcare to promote better health for their clients."

To get a better idea what reflexology looks like, feel free to watch the video of AOR beside.

Reflexology is an excellent complement to traditional medicine, but it does not dispense with a medical consultation and under no circumstances, replaces it. Reflexology does not establish a diagnosis, does not prescribe or stops medical treatment

It is sometimes necessary to have a number of sessions close together to feel the desired benefits. The sessions will be spaced out as the general condition improves.

For reflexology, you do not need to get undressed. You just need to be on your bare foot for feet reflexology.
