Reflexology with Helen Carr

Reflexologists believe that the feet (hands and ears) are like a map of the body. Reflexologists’ start with a foot massage followed by a firm, yet gentle thumb and finger pressure over the feet.

By ‘working over’ all of the areas on the feet, the reflexologist is gently stimulating the systems and organs of the body, which encourages the body’s natural healing and balance. It is uncertain how exactly reflexology works but there are 2 main theories: The first is that the para-sympathetic is being positively stimulated, the other is that it works along the same principles as Chinese medicine with reflexology stimulating the body’s energy pathways.

Research into reflexology is limited and it is uncertain how it actually works, but its relaxation, pain killing and nerve blocking effects are well documented. Click the following links for further details:
