Reflexology is an ancient healing therapy dating back around 5000 years, used to heal as well as maintain physical and emotional wellbeing. Feet have always held a great significance in many old cultures throughout history, including Egyptian, Indian, American aboriginals and Chinese. It’s been over 100 years since reflexology therapy was introduced to America and Europe, but only about 40 years since it came to Australia.
Growing strongly in popularity in Melbourne, reflexology is an effective complimentary therapy that can assist the body’s natural healing process. The theory behind it is that there are mapped areas on our feet, face, ears and hands that represent all the organs, glands and other structures in the body. Through gentle stimulation of these specific pressure points using a sequence of different techniques, it is possible to restore and rebalance the body’s own healing ability and bring about the sense of wellness. Known as a holistic therapy, it works very well alongside other holistic therapies or conventional medical care.
Because it is completely natural, safe and incredibly relaxing, the benefits of reflexology in Melbourne can be enjoyed by people of all ages, bringing relief to a wide range of acute, chronic and seasonal conditions.
With winter fast approaching and cold weather just around the corner, many people experience a decrease in energy and an increase in fatigue.
