During a treatment, at Swiss Reflexology at the Downtown Wellness Centre your only requirement is to lie down, face up, with your feet or hands exposed. The reflexologist applies gentle pressure to the feet or hands while you stay completely still. This in itself induces a sense of deep peacefulness. Combined with optional soft music, lighting and

essential oils, the treatment will be the most relaxing hour you will have that day! This therapeutic relaxation serves to normalize the bodies functioning, effectively the bodies natural healing process and enhances your total health.

Reflexology Improves Circulation, and Removes Toxins

We all know that blood carries vital nutrients through the body, and also carries away toxins and waste products. One of the symptoms of a stressful life is a decrease in blood circulation. An improvement incirculation will allow the body to receive the nutrients carried in blood, and also eliminate the waste products more effectively.

Other than the circulatory system, the body has other methods for removing waste products (eg. the lymphatic system and the digestive system). A stressful situation will cause these systems to operate belowpar. Reflexology has the effect of increasing the flow and movement of these systems by helping to decrease the stress held in the body.

Reflexology Revitalises Energy

Most of us complain of 'low energy' from time to time. It can appear as an inability to concentrate, a lack of motivation for things that usually excite us, or a physical feeling of tiredness. Reflexology, in making us feel better about ourselves, opens the pathways to increasing the energy levels and renewing us – both immediately after the treatment and for several days afterwards.

Reflexology is Preventative Health Care

We are all aware of the importance of preventative health care - "A stitch in time saves nine". Reflexology clients find they are less susceptible to colds and flu, feel generally more able to cope with stressful situations, and have a broader, happier outlook. Preventative health care can save a great deal of time, money and frustration!
