Reflexology is an ancient therapy that dates back thousands of years and has been used in ancient China, Egypt and by the Romans. It works by the therapist pressing predefined pressure points in both the hands and feet in order to relieve pain. The therapist will use a predetermined map of pressure points and manipulate them in a particular way. A reflexology session will normally last around 45 minutes and several sessions may be required. If you do not have specific ailment reflexology can still be beneficial for promoting a sense of good health and wellbeing.

Reflexology has been reported as being beneficial for a large number of different conditions as well as just general health. Some of the conditions that are said to benefit from reflexology are headaches, stress, anxiety, back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, neck pain and arthritis among many others. Reflexology will have a lot of the same benefits as massage and acupuncture and can be used alongside conventional medicine to provide additional relief.
