I'm Martina, a fully qualified reflexologist. Holistic therapies are something I have been interested in and have been receiving for a few years now, especially after my MS diagnosis in 2019 when I was left partially paralysed.
Having experienced the benefits which aided my full recovery, I have decided to become a therapist myself with an intention to help others.
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic treatment that's been practiced for centuries. It involves applying pressure to different points -reflexes on the bottom of the foot.
According to traditional Chinese medicine these points correspond to different areas of the body and they are believed to have multiple benefits.
Reflexology encourages the body to return to a state of homeostasis - bringing the body back to balance, that may have been lost through stress, illness, negative thoughts, poor diet or injury. Once homeostasis is regained, the bodies organs begin to function better.
