The above is a foot reflexology chart.
Reflexology is a remarkable natural and non-invasive therapy that balances, heals and relaxes the whole body. This is achieved by using specific techniques to manipulate areas on the feet which correspond to different parts of the body.
It can be helpful in most chronic health problems and is particularly valuable for:
- Prenatal support
- Infertility
- Balancing hormones
- Boosting energy
- Detoxification
- Stress and related conditions

Pressing on specific reflex points on the feet helps increase blood circulation and relax tension in the nervous system. It works by stimulating the nerve endings, which are related to each internal organ. It has also a harmonising effect on the subtle vitality flow of the body and can be used to help number of disorders, such as:
- Sinusitis
- Stomach-ache
- Earaches
- Asthma and many others
It restores the normal balance of the body, which is necessary for perfect health. |
There are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex points in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts.
Each foot is a map of the whole body. The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and the left to the left side of the body.
Reflexology releases blockages in the flow of energy caused by illness, stress, pain, negative thoughts and emotions and toxins etc, promoting overall health and wellbeing.
Reflexology is one of the oldest and safest therapies. Being able to reach the whole body through the foot, we can therefore treat all of the body's systems and ailments e.g. headaches, stress related disorders, digestive problems, musculo-skeletal problems, neurological, respiratory and menstrual disorders.
Benefits
- Reduces stress
- Induces deep relaxation
- Improves circulation

Chris is passionate about reflexology and believes it is the most relaxing complementary therapy for both body and mind, not just during the treatment but the relaxing effects usually last for some time afterwards.
When stress, injury, illness or disease is present there is a state of imbalance in the body and vital energy pathways are disturbed or blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively.
Reflexology works on the principle that all parts of our body are mapped in miniature on our feet and by applying pressure and massage to all areas of the feet, ‘reflex points’ can be balanced and stagnation of energy gradually unblocked.
Through the feet, reflexology stimulates the nervous system and improves circulation of blood and lymph, helping to cleanse the body of toxins.
Reflexology has been shown to be effective for:
- Stress-related conditions
- Muscle tension, neck, shoulder & back pain
- Headaches & migraine
- Hormonal problems, PMT, menopausal problems
- Infertility
- Pregnancy-related problems & post-natal care
- Digestive problems, inc. irritable bowel syndrome
- Skin complaints
- Anxiety & depression
- Insomnia
- Sinusitis
- Asthma
Chris is a member of the Association of Reflexologists.
A reflexology session normally takes about 1 1/2 hours and costs £40, including the initial longer consultation. Gift vouchers are available if you’d like to give a reflexology treatment as a present.
