Benefits for the Body Systems

Nervous System

Lymphatic System 
• reduction in tissue swelling, improved immunity and a reduced risk of infection 

Energy Systems
• balanced energy flow in the meridians - leading to a general sense of  well-being.  
 
The Relaxation Response
Reflexology is extremely relaxing. As 75-80% of disease is said to be  
caused by stress and tension, this is a very powerful and important effect.  
 
The Effect of Touch 
Caring, nurturing touch is something we all crave. The healing power of touch has been well documented over the ages. Touch applied via the feet and hands is particularly well received as it is non-invasive and requires the recipient to remove only their shoes and socks.
