REFLEXOLOGY:

The Key Principles is that Reflexology is a powerful complimentary therapy in which pressure is applied to reflex points on the feet, hands and ears using specialised palpation techniques. It is based on the principle that reflex points on the feet, hands and ears correspond to the internal organs, glands and other structures of the body.

Regular Reflexology has many beneficial and lasting effects. Some of these benefits are of a general nature, such as balancing and restoring body systems to improve functioning. Other benefits may be quite specific, for example, addressing a clients particular health concern. A growing number of research studies demonstrate the efficacy of Reflexology in improving health and well being.

Effects of Reflexology has been found to:
* Reduce stress and tension
* Improve blood and lymph circulation
* Balance the nervous system
* Stimulate sluggish and congested body systems
* Reduces pain

Reflexology, due to its profoundly relaxing nature, may bring relief directly to the area of the body where tension is held, thereby easing and relieving symptoms.

Regular Reflexology treatment sessions work gently to bring the entire body back to a state of wellness.

SHIATSU MASSAGE AND THAI STRETCHING:

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy that has been formulated over the last 100 years from the traditional Japanese massage which is a feel good, therapeutic massage. Shiatsu literally means finger pressure and as such describes part of the therapy whereby natural body weight (finger, thumbs, elbows, forearms, feet and knees) is used in applying pressure to special points on the body. This is combined with stretches, joint rotations and joint manipulation to give an all over treatment, which aims at treating the client on a holistic level.

Shiatsu massage is performed on a mattress on the floor while you remain fully clothed, incorporating stretching and pressure on specific points using fingers, hands, elbows, knees and feet.

The aims of Shiatsu is to rebalance the flow of energy (Ki), along the meridians or channels. The surface touch uses points on the surface known as Tsubo to access those meridians. The practitioner feels for excessive (Jitsu) or deficiant (Kyo) energy (ki) within the meridians as they control the movement in the body (blood, gas , air, water).
Shiatsu incorporates pressure, holding, rubbing, heating or stretching techniques which can be deep and firm, but which are applied with sensitivity.
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent the build up of stress. Common conditions helped by Shiatsu include: back pain, headaches, whiplash and neck stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms, sports injuries, depression and stress.
