Thanks for visiting and welcome!
Welcome to ReflexSA where Reflexology is explained in a language you can understand and to enable you to see the benefits of using this ancient therapy to maintain homeostasis for health and wellbeing.
Foot reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years in places such as India, China and Egypt. In ancient times, we stimulated reflexes naturally by walking barefoot over rocks, stones and rough ground. In today's modern world, we have lost much of nature's way of maintaining a balanced and healthy equilibrium. Reflexology helps to restore this balance and promote natural health and vitality.
The therapy is based on the premise that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body. Our nerve zones or reflex points go from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head, encompassing all vital organs on the way. Applying focused pressure to these reflex points located in the foot stimulate the corresponding area and thereby remove blockages and improve blood flow, circulation and overall wellbeing keeping us in homeostasis at all times.
The secret to a good reflexology treatment is drinking water. H2O (water) is the vehicle waste uses to exit the body. Always drink plenty of water before and for 24 hours after a treatment.
