World Reflexology Week (WRW), which happens in the last week in September every year, gives each Reflexologist the opportunity to promote Reflexology in their local area. Reflexologists throughout the world will be putting on talks, demonstrations, taster sessions, and exhibitions. They will be setting up stalls, doing radio phone-ins, appearing on TV. They will be promoting reflexology and the benefits derived from it. For the general public it will be a chance to try out reflexology and for the Reflexologist it is a once yearly opportunity to come out of the treatment room and show the world what lovely people we are. |  |
What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a gentle, holistic therapy based on the principle that certain parts of the body reflect the whole. Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, can be found in the feet, hands, ears and face. A reflexology treatment is a systematic working of these points, stimulating the body's own natural healing process, resulting in better health.
A Reflexology treatment is a wonderfully relaxing experience making it great to receive if you are feeling stressed. It is much more than simple pampering, however. Subtle yet powerful, reflexology is becoming increasingly popular in the world of complementary therapies. It is one of the few natural therapies to be adopted by health professionals and used in a medical setting, particularly in the areas of sub-fertility, pregnancy and maternity, aged care and stress management. It has a sound track record in helping many common conditions such as backache, IBS, blood pressure irregularities, sub-fertility, stress, PMS and migraines to name just a few.
