HAPPY AURA Swedish MASSAGE

 

 

 

 

Reflexology has been used for many centuries, in varying forms, as a way to treat and heal people. From Ancient Egypt, to China, to Native America, there is documented evidence of foot massage being used to treat people.

The way it is used today is quite different from the methods used historically, but the end result has always been the same: to ease the suffering of people.

Reflexology came to prominence in the UK in the 1960s, aided by Doreen Bayly.  She opened a school of reflexology in 1978, and since then many more schools and colleges have added reflexology to their Complementary Therapies syllabus.  




Reflexology is a natural, gentle, non-invasive and relaxing treatment, used to help the body achieve a state of balance in order that it may heal itself.  

The therapist will gently manipulate points on the feet, or hands, which correspond with the map of the body (known as reflexes). No utensils, gadgets, pills or potions are used...only the gentle touch of the therapist.  This careful touch will also assist the body in ridding itself of toxins that build up through the course of living a busy, stressful lifestyle.

Reflexology does not tickle, or hurt the client.  There may be a mild discomfort felt on certain sensitive reflexes, until the therapist works out the pressure needed by the client.  But there should never be anything more than that.
