Zenith Therapy

Reflexology treatment involves a foot massage, followed by pressures applied to reflex points on the foot which correlate to a part or organ of the body.

Reflexology works on the principle that parts of the body are stimulated, via pressures on reflex points on the feet, to bring about a change or response with the aim of creating homeostasis total balance in all body systems and mind. Therefore, reflexology aims to treat the body as a whole and not just the ailment you came to be treated for.

When working towards homeostasis, the body may go through some symptoms that may feel worse or uncomfortable before getting better in order for the body to heal itself e.g. headache, nausea, etc which can last for a couple of hours or a couple of days.

As an individual, your body is unique; therefore you will experience personalised benefits, depending on your aims and expectations of the treatment.

Benefits of reflexology

Some common benefits to reflexology include:

Stimulates the flow of blood around the body, thus increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body and brain. This also increases metabolism.
Stimulates the nerve endings in the feet, revitalising the nerves and impulses through them, therefore improving co-ordination, concentration, energy levels and help to reduce stress, inducing relaxation.
Improves the harmony between all body systems so that they work more efficiently together creating balance, and a better physical and mental state of health to ward off illness.
Relaxes the muscles, inducing relaxation and creating free and easier movement.
Due to all body systems being calmed or invigorated, the feelings of stress are soothed, resulting in a feeling of well being and positive energy.
Stimulates the excretory organs, increasing bowel movements and urination, to take away toxins found in the lymph system.
