One Million Feet Can't Be Wrong

It is estimated that around 1,000,000 feet receive reflexology every year, which should say something about the delights and benefits of foot reflexology.

Reflexology is a popular complementary treatment that uses finger pressure on the feet to re-balance the body and stimulate well-being.  Like most complementary treatments, it is holistic and treats the person, rather than their condition.  It's a natural, drug-free approach to relaxing the body and mind which helps to: release muscle tension; encourage the body systems to return to balance; and stimulate the client's own healing powers.

Reflexology can be particularly helpful in relieving stress related conditions such as: migraine, eczema, asthma, sinusitis, back pain, insomnia, PMS, infertility, IBS/ constipation and low energy levels.

Reflexology has been around for thousands of years and most ancient cultures - Chinese, Native American Indian, Indian, Hawaiian and Egyptian - all have a systemn of foot massage within their healing traditions.

In the UK, a reflexology treatment is likely to be relaxing, but beware treatments abroad: if you have a reflexology treatment in the Far East, it may do a great deal of good, but it's likely to be an excruciatingly painful experience.

Did you know?

• There are around 250,000 sweat glands in your feet that can excrete as much as half a pint of moisture every day.
  
• 25% of bones in the human body are located in the feet - 26 bones in each foot.
  
• There are 7,200 nerves in each foot - one of the reasons why reflexology is so relaxing is the sensory feedback from these nerve endings.
  
• Feet are strong enough to support up to 4 times the body's weight during high impact activities, yet sensitive enough to detect a grain of sand.
