Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the belief that there are reflex areas in the
feet and hands which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body. Some
practitioners may also include work on points found in the face and ears. Reflexology works
on an individual basis and may alleviate and improve symptoms such as everyday stress
and tension.
During a typical reflexology session the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history.
Sessions are usually performed in a comfortable chair or couch. If it is to be performed on
the feet, the client will be asked to remove footwear and socks but other forms of reflexology
require no removal of clothing. The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of
the area to be worked before beginning the precise reflexology massage movements. The
particular types of movements involved require the application of an appropriate pressure
using the thumb and fingers.
Reflexology can be a wonderfully relaxing experience where you can take time out from
everyday pressures. The therapist’s expert touch will help you relax which can help improve
mood, aid sleep and relieve tension. The result is an overall sense of wellbeing.
The Vacuflex Concept™ is a powerful therapy which works in such a way as to awaken the body to maximize the process of self-healing by joining two ancient healing techniques:
Modern Reflexology uses specially designed reflexology boots, which replace reflexology by hand. 6
minutes
at a pressure consistent with the patient’s comfort zone is equivalent to over an hour of manual hand
reflexology!
Meridian Therapy uses silicon suction pads (instead needles) which are applied to the various meridian
points
along sections of the feet, legs, arms and hands.
According to acupuncture theory, illness arises from blockages in energy flow.
The meridian system is a network of 12 energy channels transporting life energy - Qi through our body. A
balanced
flow of energy guarantees vitality and good health.
Vacuflex Concept™ stimulates the body’s energy flow to promote healing and well-being. This method is
considered a safe and very effective treatment for all.
