Have you ever felt like your body is out of sync - tired, tense or just not quite yourself? Reflexology is a gentle yet powerful therapy that uses specific pressure points on the feet to stimulate energy flow, restore balance and support your body's natural ability to heal itself.

Each point on the foot corresponds to a different part of your body - from muscles and joints to internal organs - and by working these areas, reflexology can help address imbalances and release tensions, both physically and emotionally.

Reflexology is deeply relaxing, and it's more than just a treat. Regular sessions help with:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Improving sleep quality
- Boosting blood circulation and lymphatic flow
- Relieving pain from cluster headaches and migraines
- Stimulating nerve pathways and easing neuropathic pain
- Supporting chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint and muscle pain
- Helping recovery after illness or injury

Even the simple act of a caring touch has been shown in studies to reduce levels of cortisol (the stress hormone), while increasing feel-good chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins - which together help ease pain, improve sleep, lift mood and support healing.

Reflexology has roots in ancient healing traditions, with evidence of similar practices found in Egypt, India and China as far back as 2330 BCE (e.g. wall paintings in the tomb of Ankmahor). Today, modern science is beginning to uncover how reflexology works - particularly its effects on the brain and the nervous system.

Recent fMRI studies led by Kevin and Barbara Kunz in collaboration with neuroscientists at the University of Minnesota nd the University of New Mexico, have shown measurable changes in brain activity when reflexology techniques are applied to specific areas of the feet. These findings suggest that reflexology may influence neural pathways beyond simple touch stimulation, offering a "proof of concept" for its therapeutic effects.
