Bongi Makhathini - Reflexologist and Massage Therapist

WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?

Reflexology is a complimentary therapy that works via the feet and hands to assist the body to heal itself. Reflex Zones and points found on the sole of the feet are like small mirrors that reflect the functional state of the whole organism.

Stress, illness, injury or disease cause imbalance in the body and the vital energy pathways can become blocked preventing the body from functioning effectively.

Reflexology may be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

How does Reflexology work?

By working on reflexes, a reflexologist brings a body into its natural state of internal balance.
According to the theory the reflexologist’s application of pressure to feet sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, which in turn signals the body to adjust the tension level. This enhances overall relaxation, brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning and increases blood supply( which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal ). It positively affects circulation, respiration, endocrine, immune, neuropeptide systems in the body. Reflexology also promote fertility.
