highlight the benefits of Complimentary Therapies in the easing of

improved health.
How
will it feel?
Related as it will be to a particular problem, the massage will be
designed to be either totally relaxing or stimulating, deeply
manipulative or exceptionally soft and gentle. Other related
techniques such as Shiatsu, Accupressure and Manual Lymph Drainage
may be used in the course of a treatment as the situation
requires.

red lamps are an aid in the relief of pain and provide further
relaxation of muscle tissue

massage equipment will sometimes provide an alternative
manipulative therapy

Reflexology
Refloxology can be considered as one of the most natural therapies
since it encourages and assists the body to resolve problems
without involving any other outside factors. It is also
particularly useful when direct manipulation of injured tissue
might be too painful.
Reflexology works through the system of the energy zones which
stretch longitudinally through the body ending in the hands and
the feet. By working on the reflex areas, usually in the feet,
imbalances in these energy zones can be detected, the energy flow
within the zone corrected and the condition thus resolved.

Working on these reflex areas benefits the body in many ways but
amongst the most easily appreciated are:
·
Increased
blood circulation carrying nutrients to the cells
·
Removal of
waste products and toxins from the body
·
Reduction of
nervous tension – over 60% of all disorders are due to nervous
tension
·
Breakdown of
crystalline deposits which are then naturally eliminated
·
Stimulation
of self healing properties thus hastening natural recovery.
