Relexology is an extremely effective formof foot massage based on the principle that reflex points on the hands and feetcorrespond to each organ and are linked to those organs by energy channels,zones or meridians. When illness or imbalance occurs in the body, thecorresponding energy channels become blocked and Reflexology Massage is aimedto remove these blockages, allowing the energy to flow freely again, sorestoring the body’s natural balance, and hence – good health.  Reflexologists  regard the feet as a mirror of the body, withthe right foot representing the right –hand side of the body and the left footthe left – hand side. Illness, or potential illnesses, is indicated by tenderareas on the appropriate reflex points on the feet, reflecting imbalance of theaffected organ and organs.  By applyingreflexology massage to these reflex points, the body can be prompted to maximiseits own great capacity both to heal itself and to prevent illness.
