Reflexology
Reflexology has been used by
many civilisations for thousands of years and has many benefits. Reflexology works on the
basis that reflex areas on the feet correspond to reflex points on the body. 
A treatment involves applying specific thumb and finger movements to the feet. As this allows all systems of the body to be treated, a Reflexology session is truly an holistic treatment that can have far-reaching effects physically, emotionally and also spiritually, and is far more than just ‘a foot massage’! Reflexology has been shown to be effective for: Migraine, Infertility, Sleep Disorders, Constipation, IBS, Arthritis, Hormonal Imbalances, Back Problems, Digestive disorders, Sports Injuries, Stress-related conditions. As well as many other conditions.Maternity Reflexology Maternity reflexology is reflexology specifically catered to the needs of individuals regarding sub-fertility, pregnancy, child birth and post-pregnancy problems. Reflexology works on balancing all of the body systems to provide a healthy body for conception to take place. Gentle pressure to reflex points balances the hormonal system and stimulates the reproductive organs. Both women and men can benefit from treatments for individual reasons, such as regulation of menstruation & stimulation of sperm production. Pregnancy is one of the most special conditions a woman can experience in life. Hormonal changes occur dramatically, provoking an alteration in many physiological functions. Reflexology can help restore balance in most cases. It can help with anemia, anxiety, appetite regulation, backache, blood pressure regulation (except case of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia). Constipation or any change in bowel movement pattern, diabetes caused by pregnancy, haemorroids, heartburn, insomnia, muscular fatigue, muscular tension, nausea and vomiting, oedema and swelling, urinatry tract problems (difficulty to urinate, cystitis etc) plus many other conditions.

Today, more and more health care providers are aware of the benefits of Reflexology and natural therapies during pregnancy referring their clients to improve their life quality during this period. However, it is always wise to get assessment by a trained medical authority on any condition that may be serious.
